Black Heart Man produced by Henry Lawes for Volcano in 1980
1980’s Black Heart Man Riddim from Volcano comes out of Henry Lawes’ production camp and captures the rough, heavy roots sound he was pushing at the time. Barrington Levy’s Black Heart Man and Call You On The Phone lead the vocal side, with Dub – Round 8 adding a stripped-back version to the mix. Lawes and the Roots Radics are also tied to the riddim listing, which fits the tougher Volcano style that helped define early-’80s Jamaican dancehall and roots crossover.
