Lloydie Coxson´s King of the Dub rock Pt. 1

Levi Root's (+ various artists lp) 'Jah Will Never Let You Down' has some string sounds on several of the tunes. They sound ok, but I'd rather hear the tunes on that lp without the strings.

litelet-
the violing player pon your riddim (white rum raymond) has also played on john holts' "the tide is high". apparently this tune was hot in jamiaca in its time... i imagine white rum has been featured on several other well known songs.
jah bless

litelet-One of my favourite I Roy (?) tracks has an amazing violin riddim with killer version called Violin Rock.You have bid on my records before,contact me and I'll hook you up wid it.ONE LOVE

have this black slate disco called 'rasta reggae'
it has some nice violins and cellos

in modern roots reggae clinton fearon uses violin on his last two albums ...some nice tunes!!

i remember in Matumbi "Matumbi" album two fantastic sound with the violin who makes the sound really deep ...i talk about "Blood of Jesus" & "Malfunction"

in new roots too is so good chanting nyabinghi in midnight landing LP of 10 ft ganja plant. all track with chello, rythim guitar and drums, highly recommended

Big tune with some nice chello in it. (played by Robbie Shakespear)

Jahganga, cool to hear about this "white rum raymond" (that doesnt sound real rasta ). By the way, how do you know his name, is he a member of the Simplicity People (Gussie P)? Is he Jamaican?
Thanks for the infos! Litelet

It is probalby in the LP mentionned above but there is two lovely tunes on twinkle production (7")with nice violins, vocals by norman grant:
- don't forget africa
- what do you want

And there is also one of my favorite tune that I have relistened this morning:

Mystic Revealers - Rastamn in NY!
