Three hard-to-find tracks in which R. Zee Jackson — a pivotal figure who has transformed the reggae scene in both Jamaica and Canada — covers roots reggae anthems are reissued on 12-inch by France's 〈Jamwax〉, the maniacal reissue label for Jamaican and Caribbean music!!
A powerful release featuring two standout tracks from the album "New Beat," released in the mid-'80s on the Canadian label 〈Ossie Records〉 — "Row Fisherman Row" (sample_1), a cover of The Congos' classic "Fisherman," and "Blackheart Man" (sample_2), a rugged cover of the legendary Bunny Wailer's signature song — plus a deep roots cover of Bunny Wailer's "Long Long Time," originally issued on a 12-inch of unknown release year. New artwork by Ras Mykha celebrates the bond between reggae legends Rzee Jackson, Jackie Mittoo, and Cedric Myton with a charming illustration of them aboard a fisherman's boat.
