Hoping someone had heard this LP and could either give me an idea of similar sounding artists/albums, or maybe send me a copy?

He is pretty unique in his style, then its hard to find another artist similar but for me Stranger Cole album "forward in the land of sunshine" is pretty close...

Both are great albums... The best tunes are slow and mysticals, killers!

Finally maybe that the first Burning Spear albums are a good reference for imagine I Kong style*

Many thanks robe619!

I wasn't familiar with Stranger Cole either.
Album cover and song titles look really good.
And he plays "VIOLIN"?! WOW!!!
Have to keep my eyes open for that one, although i'm sure it is tuff to find.

I couldn't get the audio track to play. :(
(playlist format is not recognized)

Does anyone know of an Augustus Pablo version of I Kong's 'The Way It Is'? I swear I had something along these lines taped probably from the B&B Show circa 1978.

Good man, Ron

The Pablo version really is the business.
