Folk song produced by Duke Reid, RPM Inc. for Dutchess, Peckings in 1966
Duke Reid’s Folk Song Riddim for Dutchess and Peckings dates to 1966 and pulls together three cuts that place it firmly in the Treasure Isle era: Tony and Dennis’ Folk Song, Tommy McCook’s Starry Night, and Bitty McLean and The Supersonics’ later take, Your Heart. The set is a small one, but it’s a useful snapshot of Reid’s production style, with McCook’s instrumental version and the Tony and Dennis vocal sitting alongside the 2004 Peckings revival. What makes it easy to recognise is the clean, melodic backbone and the way it bridges classic mid-60s Jamaican output with a later roots-reggae reworking through Peckings.
