Linval Thompson's Rock Me In Dub

Post by digitalJ »

That track Rock Me In Dub (from the LP Negrea Love Dub)
has a wicked Hammond sounding organ at the beginning. To me it sounds very oriental like the music one would hear in those old kung-fu movies. I would put my head on the block and say it probably ranks up there with some of the best.
Which song/s that has/have a Hammond sounding organ would you consider your best?

Good topic.

I nominate "Brother Joe" by Gregory Isaacs. In fact that riddim appears to have come from the same session of musicians. That whole album by gregory isaacs (forget the name) has wicked hammond throughout.

Album is "Cool Ruler" and yes, many wicked tunes in that style ("One More Time" for example).
To contribute a tune by another artist I nominate "Slaving" by Lloyd Parks. Good thread!

Negrea Love Dub (featuring Linval's 'Rocking Vibration') and Slum Dub (featuring Gregory's 'Cool Ruler') share some riddims.

Personal alltime organ favourite: Otis Gayle "I'll be around" and all instrumental versions of it.
