Hard Rock Riddim (1999) – Pickout Records

Hard Rock Riddim – Pickout Records brings together a small 1999 reggae set from producer Lloyd Dennis and the Pickout label, with Bushman’s Life, Delroy Stewart’s My Love Is Your Love, and Spanner Banner’s Give A Little Love among the key cuts. The lineup also includes a version side from Steelie and Clevie, and the combination of strong vocals with a compact four-track format gives the riddim a tight, no-frills feel. Bushman’s appearance adds extra weight here, while Spanner Banner’s cut helps anchor the release as one of Pickout’s more memorable late-’90s roots-flavoured outings.
