U Brown – No Stoppin’ This Music LP

Description

The compilation you hold in your hands features the best ofU Brown‘s 1983 releaseJam It Tonight, cut at Channel One with theRoots Radics, coupled with enthralling earlier singles laid at Channel with theRevolutionaries. The high points are many in this thoroughly agreeable set that showcases the best of peak-period U Brown; beginning with the devotional “Jah Is My Father Still” and “Walk With Jah Love” fromJam It Tonight, the title track speaks of reggae music’s unstoppable nature and “Reggae Gone International” is a celebratory take of the “Pick A Dub” rhythm, here totally reconfigured. “Rub A Dub All The Time” (aka “Tu Sheng Peng”) is a killer take of theDennis Brownsong of the same name, while “Blow Mr Hornsman Blow” is an awesome reworking of the “Take Five” rhythm, and “Come Along” a beautiful deejay counterpart toSugar Minott‘s “Steal Away Girl.” U Brown has since gone on to enjoy all kinds of musical adventures in the UK, USA, and Europe, where he settled in the 1990s; listen to the artistry onNo Stoppin’ This Musicand marvel at his enduring talents.
