Re: Freddie McKay
"Exodus" / "Take My Hand Oh JAH" (Rootical Dubber) simply put _has_ to be one of the strongest roots anthems ever sung. I rest my case.

Re: Freddie McKay
strong for sure but its the 12" cut thats the scorcher and not the 7 on rootical dubber
seems they added some background singing on the 7 repress what a shame

His "Picture on the wall" LP for Coxsone Dodd is a real nice LP. Every track barr 1 or 2 is a winner. Freddie had an extraordinary voice and this LP should not be passed up.
Also check for his "Mop & Cry" 12" disco on the DEB label. Pure killer this one and was re-issued by "Badda" music in the UK last year. Well worth picking up.

Tribal inna Yard is certainly one of my favorites. Heavy rhythms deep message good vibes. Produced by genius such Linval Thompson and Delroy Wright this album is a prime. Roots Radics epic rhythms... very nice strictly roots
