Dennis Brown- Children of Israel
The Revolutionaries- Bionic Man
The first of many Dennis Brown tunes to come. Such a killer voice. Given the title, expecting some heavy dread Roots vibes would be appropriate and you will not be disappointed. The Revolutionaries, featuring Sly’s drumming constantly pushing things forward along with some killer organ riffs, provide an economical but throughly enjoyable backing. The dub subtracts the organ (or moves it into the background) adds some horns and tambourine and off course throws on large amounts of delay. Killer delayed sax solo as well…
These are the credits for the album version of this song at least….guessing the dub was done at King Tubby’s….
