African Roots Riddim was produced by Bunny Striker Lee for an unknown label in 1976, and this five-track roots set pulls together versions by Clint Eastwood, Dillinger, I-Roy, Johnny Clarke, plus an instrumental cut from The Aggrovators and Bobby Ellis. The lineup leans heavily on the deejay-to-singer mix Bunny Lee was shaping in the mid-’70s, with I-Roy’s African Herbsman adding a small twist to the otherwise title-focused sequence. Johnny Clarke’s presence also fits the period well, since he was one of Lee’s key voices in that era. It plays like a compact, vocal-led roots session with one clear instrumental edge, carrying that raw, smoky rockers feel that defined so much of Bunny Lee’s best work.
