A Love I Can Feel Riddim – Black Art

Already in the groove of the early-’70s Studio One classic, this Black Art set keeps that lilting lovers-rock pulse and warm bassline moving through a tight seven-track run from 1975. Cornell Campbell, Dennis Brown, and John Holt get the sweetest cut of the melody, while Leroy Smart and Prince Jazzbo push the rhythm into more talkative, rougher territory. The title tune’s gone through plenty of reworks over the years, but this version keeps the arrangement lean and soulful, with the singers carrying most of the weight. It closes on The Agrovators’ “Denham Town Dub, ” and that instrumental lock-step gives the whole thing a drier, dubwise finish after the vocal cuts.
