Product Description
Includes liner notes by Laurence Cane-Honeysett.
Released in 1971 and reissued on CD by Trojan Records, AFRICA'S BLOOD is a pivotal album in the early career of Jamaican producer/performer Lee "Scratch" Perry. Expanding his band, the Upsetters, to include Theophilius "Easy-Snappin'" Beckford on piano, Tinleg Adams on drums, and the horns of Bobby Ellis, Tommy McCook, and Ron Wilson, Perry created a fuller, slower, and deeper sound-the "heavy dread" that epitomizes his '70s work.
The precursor of such Perry dub albums as RHYTHM SHOWER and BLACKBOARD JUNGLE, AFRICA'S BLOOD has a few soulful '60s-style rock steady tunes like "Do Your Thing." But most of the album features Perry's increasingly heavy and bizarre dub mixes of the instrumental tracks from previous hits. Eric Donaldson's "Cherry Oh Baby," for instance, becomes "Well Dread." While the results might sound primitive and tinny to contemporary ears, it's hard to overstate the importance of Perry's influential work from this era.
