I Need You Riddim – Jammy’s, Dennis Star, Powerhouse

I Need You produced by King Jammy, Dennis Star, George Phang for Jammy’s, Dennis Star, Powerhouse in 1986

I Need You Riddim from 1986 pulls together a strong late-digital Jammy’s-era lineup for Jammy’s, Dennis Star and Powerhouse, with King Jammy, Dennis Star and George Phang all tied to the production. The set includes Al Campbell’s Easy Loving, Cocoa Tea’s Come Again, Cornell Campbell’s Mix Up Family, Johnny Osbourne’s Love Is A Hurting Thing and On The Right Track, plus cuts from Anthony Malvo, Anthony Red Rose, General Trees and Josey Wales. That mix gives the riddim a rooted, vocal-heavy feel, balancing lovers rock, conscious lyrics and dancehall talk over a sleek mid-80s foundation that fits right into the period when Jammy’s was helping shape the digital sound.
