1970’s I Can’t Hide riddim traces back to Duke Reid and Treasure Isle, with a deep roots lineup that runs from Ken Parker’s original I Can’t Hide and Winston Wright and The Supersonics’ Hide And Seek to later cuts by Al Campbell, Johnny Clarke, Horace Andy, Barry Brown, Billy Boyo and Yellowman. The collection also reaches into the Channel One, Techniques, Front Line, Volcano, Black Scorpio and Jammy’s era, which gives it a wide cross-section feel across different reggae generations. It’s a strong look at how the same foundation kept resurfacing over the years, with tracks like Duke Reid All Stars’ Found Out and Johnny Clarke’s Time Will Tell helping anchor the set.
