After finishing LIFE, it reminded me of some of the sessions I have on tapes and LPs from way back and not so far back.
I really enjoy KRs contributions to the reggae songs he plays on. His songs with Toots are some of my favorites. The Tele sounds on the recent 'Pressure Drop' are fantastic. I also like the Scratch appearances, even though the songs are quite aimless, "Where Theres A Will" is just to funny to pass up. Peter Tosh and Ziggy Marley as well as 'Truly' and 'Africa' from the New Barbarians.
My question is the sessions he used by name in the book.
Black Uhuru (produced by Sly & Robbie) - "Shine Eye Gal" Can anybody hear him on this track? Was he mixed out of it for legal reasons? The version I have is from the 'Guess Who's Coming To Dinner' LP. I can't hear any Keith on this track.
Sly Dunbar - "Dirty Harry" He says in the book that he played on this track and has a tape with some others that are unreleased. I have this track from a reissue of The Wicked & Slick CD. Is he on bass? Not much Keith guitar work here either.
