Hunter Man Riddim – Various Labels

Hunter Man produced by King Jammy, Henry Lawes, Carlton Patterson for Jammy’s, Volcano, Black, White in 1980.

Hunter Man Riddim brings together a 1980 roots-and-dancehall selection produced across Jammy’s, Volcano, and Black and White by Henry Lawes, Carlton Patterson, and King Jammy. Barrington Levy is the central voice here, with cuts like Bounty Hunter, Robin Hood, Walk 2000 Miles, Warm And Sunny Day, and the later Hunter Man, alongside Captain Sinbad’s Mary Moore, Clint Eastwood’s Watch Yourself Mr. Newspaper Man, Junior Delgado’s Rasta Children, and Scientist’s Round 7 and Upper Cut. Also known as the Robin Hood Riddim, it runs like a compact but wide-ranging showcase of the same riddim through singers, deejays, and dubwise instrumentals, with the Roots Radics sound giving it that tough early-80s pressure.
