I Love I Bring

from the LP Revolutionary Dream, Tropical Sound Tracs Records, 1976



There truly was a glut of talent around the island of Jamaica in the ‘60s & ‘70s, and due to the principles of supply and demand, that meant many gifted musicans would go largely unnoticed during reggae’s worldwide ascension, only to be sniffed out by roots addicts and fanatics as the years moved along. Excepting for his one hit single, “I Man A Grasshopper”, singer Pablo Moses falls into this category, although he got farther than most by scoring a brief contract with Island Records in the early ‘80s, but he never became the kind of star his talent warranted. This album floats by like pot smoke on a summer breeze, aided greatly by the top production of Geoffrey Chung (who was also rocking that spooky sounding clavinet) and recorded at Lee Perry’s Black Ark Studio, previous to him flipping his shit and burning it to the ground, obviously. RAS-tafari!!
