Our Take
Ah, good day, my musical aficionados! Today, I bring you a delightful little gem from the year of 1962 - "Blue Beat 1962" by Various Artists. This compilation album is a colourful tapestry of ska, rocksteady, and reggae that will have you skanking into the wee hours of the morning. From the infectious beats of Prince Buster's "Madness" to the smooth crooning of Derrick Morgan's "Moon Hop," this album is a veritable feast for the ears. The vibrant brass sections and soulful vocals transport you straight to the streets of Kingston, Jamaica, in the midst of a ska revolution. Tracks like Desmond Dekker's "Honour Your Mother and Father" and The Maytals' "My New Name" showcase the raw talent and infectious energy of these pioneering artists. Each song is a testament to the rich tapestry of sounds that were coming out of the Caribbean at the time. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on this album. The darker, grittier tracks like The Skatalites' "Killer Diller" and Eric Morris' "Ten Commandments of Man" add a touch of menace to the otherwise upbeat vibe of the record. Overall, "Blue Beat 1962" is a must-listen for any fan of ska, rocksteady, or reggae. So grab yourself a rum punch, kick back, and let the music transport you to a time when the beats were hot, the vibes were cool, and the rhythm was irresistibly infectious. Cheers!
