Masterpiece. Top-drawer songwriting — thoughtful, soulful lyrics and ace tunes — and definitive performances. In the top three Studio One LPs; one of the greatest reggae LPs of all time.

An ace, urgent version of Joe South’s stinging denunciation.
Easy to imagine Andy and South — who also wrote Walk A Mile In My Shoes — getting on very well together.

Haunted, hurt reasoning rides a chunk of brawny Revolutionaries, with wailing organ and moody horns.

This Rebel Music anthem is for us the prime example of Bob Andy’s songwriting genius.
The perfect accompaniment to following your own path in life. Non-conformity set to music.
The defiantly carefree scatting at the end is killer: the coup de grace.
What a record.

His Heavy Axe album and various collaborations from the mid-seventies, with Cannonball, Johnny Guitar and the ineffable Hampton Hawes, amongst others. A factory-sealed cut-out, with a notch in the case.
