Exile Song Riddim – Unknown Label

Exile Song produced by Keith Hudson for Unknown Label in 1974

Keith Hudson’s Exile Song Riddim, issued in 1974 on an unknown label, pairs a small but memorable set of cuts around the title tune and its dub version. Delroy Wilson’s Addis Ababa is the key vocal cut here, while Skiddy and Detroit’s The Exile Song and Michael Talbot Affair show the same rhythm from different angles. The set sits firmly in Hudson’s early-’70s run, when he was sharpening his reputation as one of Jamaica’s more inventive producers, often leaning into moody, offbeat sounds and strong roots pressure.
