Fisherman Riddim – Blood And Fire Records

Blood and Fire digs back into one of roots reggae’s deepest cuts here, turning The Congos’ “Fisherman” into a proper multi-voiced tribute with veterans and younger singers circling the same haunting groove. The pull is in the contrast: Horace Andy’s “Love Love Love” slides in with that cool, airy patience, while Lutan Fyah’s “Whitewash Walls” pushes the riddim into sharper social-realist territory. Big Youth and U-Roy keep the old-school deejay fire burning, and The Congos’ title cut anchors everything with that unmistakable Black Ark feel. This was part of Blood and Fire’s 2006 Fisherman Style project, a release that looked back to Lee “Scratch” Perry’s original pattern and let a new generation voice it without sanding off the rough edges.
