Details
[Edit]Few producers did more to shape the sound of early-‘70s Jamaican music than Phil Pratt. His subtle, finely tuned productions for artists like Ken Boothe, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, and others complicated and deepened rocksteady's easy-swinging grooves and brought forward the prominent bass lines, syncopated percussion, and spacious arrangements that would characterize reggae music during the roots era. Pratt owned and operated the label Sunshot and enlisted a cast of veteran musicians, including drummer Leroy “Horsemouth” Wallace, guitarists Earl “Chinna” Smith and Lyn Taitt, and bassist George Fullwood. Together they crafted dark, low-slung rhythms that set Sunshot releases apart from their contemporaries. This short but carefully assembled anthology gathers 14 of Pratt’s most memorable Sunshot productions, including Ken Boothe’s slow, sultry re-take of the formerly frantic ska classic “Artibella” and Pat Kelly’s impassioned, rocksteady-inflected rendition of Curtis Mayfield’s “Soulful Love."
