U Brown
No Stoppin' This Music
The compilation you hold in your hands features the best of U Brown's 1983 release 'Jam It Tonight,' cut at Channel One with the Roots Radics, coupled with enthralling earlier singles laid at Channel with the Revolutionaries. The high points are many in this thoroughly agreeable set that showcases the best of peak-period U Brown; beginning with the devotional 'Jah Is My Father Still' and 'Walk With Jah Love' from 'Jam It Tonight,' the title track speaks of reggae music's unstoppable nature and 'Reggae Gone International' is a celebratory take of the 'Pick A Dub' rhythm, here totally reconfigured, Maxfield Avenue style. 'Rub A Dub All The Time' (aka 'Tu Sheng Peng') is a killer take of the Dennis Brown song of the same name, while 'Blow Mr Hornsman Blow' is an awesome re-working of the 'Take Five' rhythm, and 'Come Along' a beautiful deejay counterpart to Sugar Minott's 'Steal Away Girl'. U Brown has since gone on to enjoy all kinds of musical adventures in the UK, USA, and Europe, where he settled in the 1990s; listen to the artistry on 'No Stoppin' This Music' and marvel at his enduring talents.
