CRYING OUT RIDDIM produced by FIREHOUSE CREW 1997
Crying Out Overview
When Crying Out Riddim dropped in 1997, reggae fans quickly embraced its classic feel. The riddim’s warm, rootsy sound drew listeners back to reggae’s golden era, and the project became popular in dancehalls and on radio. Each artist brought something special. Anthony Redrose’s “Life” stood out with his signature vocal style. Fredlocks, known for his earlier hit “Black Star Liner,” delivered a heartfelt “Want You Into My Life.” Jack Radics, who had charted in the UK with “No Matter,” gave a soulful performance on “He’s Everlasting.” Morgan Heritage, a group recognized for their strong family harmonies and the album “Protect Us Jah,” added depth with “Crying Out.” The combination of Terror Fabolous and Anthony Red Rose on “Life” brought a fresh energy, showing the riddim’s flexibility. The dub engineer behind the release gave each track a rich, balanced mix, while the label handled distribution and promotion. At the heart of the project was FIREHOUSE CREW. This band and production team, formed in the 1980s, is known for working with artists like Luciano and Sizzla and for shaping the sound of modern roots reggae. Today, Crying Out Riddim still carries the spirit of 1997. Its timeless reggae base, crafted by FIREHOUSE CREW, remains a favorite for those who appreciate the depth and soul of roots music.
