One of the singers who came to symbolize early dancehall, the legendary "mellow canary voice" of BARRINGTON LEVY — his acclaimed 1979 roots reggae-style album "Bounty Hunter," from the early days of his career, gets a reissue! Includes the hit "Shine Eye Gal" as well as a cover of HORACE ANDY's "Skylarking." Soaring high vocals backed by the heavyweight CHANNEL ONE ALL STARS.
Track List
BARRINGTON LEVY, the singer who emerged at the dawn of dancehall and won wide popularity — "Bounty Hunter" (1979), a masterpiece still deeply colored by the roots sound of the pre-dancehall era and packed with his early hits, is reissued! Also includes "Shine Eye Gal," a gem built on a remake of THE HEPTONES' "Get In The Groove" riddim, where ROOTS RADICS' laid-back, easy-rolling playing meets that mellow high-tone voice to perfection.
