Album: Jonny Greenwood Is The Controller
This has pretty much been my record of the summer. Jonny Greenwood, the guitarist from Radiohead, spent months picking some of his favourite tracks from the Trojan Records’ archive. The end result of his efforts was an outstanding compilation. The disc pulls together bits of ska, rocksteady, dub, and roots into seventy minutes worth of pure enjoyment. It has been the soundtrack for many drives around town, brunch on Sunday morning and early evening social gatherings.
Recommended for those who are interested in reggae and are looking to expand beyond the great works of Bob Marley.
Highlight tracks:
Let Me Down Easy by Derrick Harriott
I’m Still in Love by Marcia Aitken
Cool Rasta by The Heptones
Black Panta by Lee “Scratch” Perry & The Upsetters
