Our Take
Ah, Desmond Dekker, the king of ska, the pioneer of reggae, the man with the hits that never seem to fade away. Double Dekker, a compilation album that brings together some of his greatest tracks, is a true gem for any music lover. From the infectious rhythms of "007 (Shanty Town)" to the soulful grooves of "Israelites," this album is a journey through Dekker's iconic catalogue. His distinct voice, with its signature vibrato, cuts through the mix with a power that is undeniable. The album kicks off with the upbeat and lively "Rude Boy Train," setting the tone for what's to come. Tracks like "It Miek" and "Pretty Africa" showcase Dekker's versatility as an artist, while songs like "You Can Get It If You Really Want" and "Sing a Little Song" will have you dancing along in no time. But it's not all about the catchy tunes and the infectious rhythms. Dekker's lyrics are poignant and timeless, touching on themes of love, politics, and social justice with a sincerity that is rare to find in today's music landscape. Overall, Double Dekker is a must-have for any fan of reggae, ska, or just good music in general. Desmond Dekker may no longer be with us, but his music lives on through albums like this, reminding us of the legacy he left behind. So go ahead, turn up the volume and let Desmond Dekker take you on a musical journey like no other.
