Tapper Zukie & Friends A Soulful I&I
1-LP Holland
World / Reggae
This follow up album to Tapper Zukies Bunker Buster’ set, sees Tapper again rally calling his fellow reggae singers to work up some great songs. This group of tunes lean towards a more soulful sound, yet still holding that reggae feel we know and expect from Mr Zukie. The title itselfA Soulful Chant I’ we felt suited this set of songs perfectly .
The roll call of great singers starts with Prince Alla adding his distinctive feel to the opening track Children Don’t Cry’.Heaven On Earth’ features Junior Ross on vocal duties. Poverty’ is richly enhanced by one of Jamaica’s greatest vocal bands, Silvertones. Tapper himself follows with the thoughtfulMan-A-Man’ and another great reggae trio the Viceroys counter with Help Me’. Dennis Walks guides us withI Wanna Go’ and Junior Ross appears again with the timeless Be On The Right Track’. Mr Zukie points the way onPeople of Love’ and Prince Alla insures us that right will always overcome wrong doing with Good Over Evil’. A favourite of oursThat Was The Day’ again song so majestically by the Viceroys leads us into the Silvertones Magic Touch’. Little Roy leads us out withYouth In The Ghetto’.
Hope you enjoy the set.
