Re: Dancehall With Instruments

Can somebody recommend me some good dancehall albums with live riddims (not made by computer)? I'm not talking about early 80's Roots Radics dancehall, but later, late 80's, early nineties dancehall (Ninjaman, Beenie Man, Bounty Killa,...

Bounty Killer "Roots Reality and Culture"? Or is this too digital for you?

There are of cause not sooo many albums out there fitting your description (sadly). Ninjaman over early 80s Roots Radics would be wicked imho.

Two come to mind are

"Them a Wolf" by Sugar Minott and "Hand Cart Man" by Frankie Paul

this is soo wicked, but when I usually listen to these artist studio tracks, most everything is computerised...

Yeah, I was looking for dancehall played with real instruments for a long time. Sadly, there are not that many records with that sound...

yellowman & charlie chaplin - the negril chill 1987

Check: Sweat - Lef Him "Hard Worker label 7 inch"

is a killer

(unfortenly i dont know nothing about this guy ? someone one who sweat is?
there onley one oher tune from him)

Check out "Little John - Boombastic" LP/CD on Heartbeat Records (HB 74)
Although the music is by Roots Radics, this album is from 1990, and definetely later dancehall.

i think General Trees "Negril" LP was all band, from '86 or '87 and it had his big hits like "mini bus" and "gon a negril"
