Product Description

From Amazon.com

By 1975, rock audiences were finally getting heavily into reggae, thanks to the success of Bob Marley's first two albums and Jimmy Cliff's soundtrack for The Harder They Come. Funky Kingston, a collection of early '70s Maytals singles, was released to capitalize on the newfound demand for Jamaican sounds, and it did not disappoint--nor will it disappoint anyone who comes across it today. With Toots Hibbert's gritty vocals at the fore, this is the closest reggae ever got to American soul music. If sublimely funky tracks such as "Time Tough," "Got to Be There," and "Pressure Drop" don't make you smile, then their ganja-laced cover of John Denver's "Country Roads" (complete with a shout-out to "West Jamaica") should definitely do the trick. --Dan Epstein


Album Details

Vinyl LP reissue of this 1973 album by Toots & The Maytals. It was their first album produced by Chris Blackwell (head of Island Records). The better known US version is a compilation of the original Funky Kingston and their second album, In the Dark. It is notable for the Maytals' biggest hit, "Pressure Drop", as well as unlikely cover songs, such as a Reggae version of John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads", which replaces the lyrical reference to West Virginia with West Jamaica. 10 tracks. Universal. 2009.

4.0 out of 5 stars ノリノリ, 2004/10/19
全曲もうノリノリ全開!!「I can't believe」の「あっ、あ~っ、いっ、い~っ」が大好き。しかし唯一「Daddy's home」では他ののりとはことなり泣かせるようなメロウな詩・曲を聞かせてくれる。またここでの「Redemption song」は、Bob marleyのそれとは同名というだけでカバーではないことに注意!!
