SOLD !!! | General Plough - Midnight Rock on original Clappers | ** MINT **
Posted: Tue May 13, 2008 1:49 pm
General Plough was born in Jamaica 1970 or '71. His mother passed away when he was only 6 months old and he never knew his father. Member of his family such as his grandma and aunt, Moley Isachar, used to take care of him.
His aunt used to cook, bake
cakes and prepare ital juices for the community living in the neighborhood of Trenchtown. The Wailers used to play ball near by and they often visited Ploughs aunt when wanting to buy food. This is what Plough has quoted how he got into music. Plough got musical advice from Jacob Miller and Larry Marshall taught him to play the guitar.
He got his name from Peter Tosh who named him:
P for people - L for love - O for observation - U for unity - G for generation (I was the next one) - H for the healing of the nation.
He recorded the album Midnight Rock in '80 when 9 years old, it was released in '83 on the Clappers label. Backed by some heavy Roots Radics rhythms this album is a rare gem.
After that his career slowed down. He worked with Peter Tosh at Dynamics, Beres Hammond, Sly and Robbie at
Channel One studio.
Jojo and Ernest Hoo Kim gave him access to their materials to build rhythms for people like Barry Brown, Brent Dowe, Michael Prophet, Sugar Minott, Sammy Dread, Philip Frazer, Max Romeo, Peter Ranking and General Lucky.
