I just bought my first Bob Andy CD, Retrospective. Usually i can wait to get my music in the mail but this time I'm starting to get antsy.
Any opinions on this disc. I usually prefer heavy roots and never bought a CD by Andy b/c I know him as mainly a 60s cover tunes artist. This material is supposed to be a lot more rootical. Anyone have an opinion? Is this some of his better material?

I dig it but I guess it would'nt be for everybody! Bob Andy is a wonderful song craftsman and doesn't lean on any cliches. He is very insightful in his lyricism. The grooves are provided by the usual great players on this disc! Enjoy!
Peace & One Love, Rusty

Is this material about the same as the Songbook stuff?

Hi Lion
Thank you for the heads-up on that album!
Sitting listening to the recently purchased "Better Dub" and "Congo Dub" comes on. Check out the source as I am blown away by it and, as you know, it's "Unchained" by Bob Andy.
Synchronicity, indeed.
Ordered it straight away.
