Country Reggae Vocalists

[Karl NZ]

Hi there,
I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to who sings in the Country style of Reggae like for instance Justin Hinds,Joseph Hill and Stanley Beckford.
I really like this rural style of Reggae as for me it just sounds great.
So i was wondering if any of you good people out there can suggest any similar artists that are singing in that same style. I am a big Justin Hinds fan and also love the Starlights but have to date only found the one Heartbeat CD of there material does anyone know if there are others.

2 singers that come to mind : Raphael Stewart and Langford Graham.Only on 7"!
I also like that style!

[Bellyman]

The Maytones, Winston Jarrett, The Ethiopian(s), just to name the obvious.

Winston Jarrett, Ehtiopians or Justin Hinds ? Not really typical country bwoy singas, man ! You'd better try LEO GRAHAM (his stuff for Lee Perry or Joe Gibbs is real good). This is pure country bwoy style.

Leonard Dillon and Justin Hinds voices may not sound as rural as Leo Graham's (who can ?), but their delivery and use of patois and proverbs are nonetheless typical of country singers, to me.
Unlike Albert Griffiths who, despite his intensive use of proverbs, sounds really urban in comparison.

Hi There,
Thats brilliant guys i do have a little of Leo Graham just on a couple of comps of Joe Gibbs & Lee Perry'sand i have a Winston Jarrett Cd with some of the earlier sounds he made with the Flames & i have a bit of Ethiopians material as well. Love the Maytones Alvin Ranglin seems to produce a lot in the Country style. But please keep up the suggestions you guys are awsome.

Many Thanks,
