Foot Of The Mountain Riddim – Impact!

Foot Of The Mountain Riddim arrived in 1973 on Impact! , produced by Eddie Wong, and pairs two strong roots voices on the same cut: Dennis Brown’s Foot Of The Mountain and Freddie McKay’s Won’t Get Away. The release leans on a warm, melodic late-ska-to-roots feel, with Brown’s original setting the tone and McKay’s version giving it a smoky, seasoned edge. Eddie Wong’s Impact! work sits firmly in that early-70s Jamaican sweet spot, where singer sides were often carried by memorable riddims and lean arrangements, and this one is remembered for the strength of its vocal pairing rather than a crowded lineup.
