Garnet Silk: Rule Dem (TJACD308)

A labour lof love compilation featuringsome of the great Garnet Silk’s early recording’s but some wonderful dub plate recordingswith soundman Kilimanjaro. These tracks add a vitality and freshness to a very fine set from a man arguably responsible for a resurgence in roots culture., with some fine gueat appearances Richie Stephens, Capleton, Lukie D, Luciano and Dennis Brown, over some killer riddims of the day (like Pressure for example).

Excellent stuff pretty much the whole way through

Garnet Silk: Rule Dem (TJACD308)

Format: CD album Released: Mar 27 2006 Price: £9.49 Rule Dem showcases some of Garnet Silk's finest recordings from two different eras in his life. There are some of his earliest cuts produced by the great Bunny Lee as well as some mesmerising dubplate recordings from his days toasting with the Jamaican sound system Killimangaro. These dubplates also feature a Who's Who of guest appearances from the likes of Capleton, Dennis Brown, Richie Stephens and Lukie D. Rule Dem shows us that although Garnet Silk is gone he'll never be forgotten.
