RISE UP -COLOURED-

The music contained on this album invokes the vibes and spirit that were so crucial to much of the music recorded during the 1960s and '70s in Jamaica. The musicians and singers of this era will tell you that the driving force behind the songs they created was the sheer love of music. The Kingston All Stars represent some of the most legendary musicians to ever grace the little island and it is thanks to their passion and dedication that we have a lifetime of music to enjoy. This is the third KAS LP showcasing the talents of Jamaica's top session musicians from the golden era of Jamaican music. These are the artists who laid the foundation for rocksteady, reggae, roots and beyond in countless recording sessions around Jamaica. The Kingston All Stars include Sly Dunbar, Hux Brown, Mikey Mao Chung, Ansel Collins, Jackie Jackson, Robbie Lyn, Everton & Everald Gayle with the guidance of musician, writer & engineer Moss Mossman Raxlen. Members of the Kingston All Stars have been part of/or recorded with The Revolutionaries, Lynn Taitt & The Jets, Studio One's Sound Dimension and Soul Vendors Band, Lee Scratch Perry's Upsetters, Peter Tosh's Word Sound and Power band, Toots and the Maytals, Now Generation, In Crowd, Wailers Band and countless others. The album's intro piece Boo Rock, is a tribute to the legendary drummer Mikey Boo Richards. Singer Allen Jahsana brings two amazing songs to the project on Jungle Justice and Rising from the Ghetto. Carol Brown's Only Jah Knows on a sweet dubbed out rocksteady riddim shines that much brighter with the help of her daughter, Krystal Mittoo. Legendary roots vocalist Prince Alla adds a real classic vibe to a new song he wrote titled My Vision. A proper roots anthem from singer RZee Jackson with conscious lyrics and RZee's unique vocal style. - A1. Boo Rock (Tribute to Mikey Boo)?A2. Jungle Justice feat. Allen Jahsana ?A3. Jamodica ?A4.
