Joe Liges Riddim – Unknown Label

Bunny Striker Lee’s Joe Liges Riddim is a tight 1973 cut with just two versions, led by Delroy Wilson’s Joe Liges and a dub called Straight To Brad’s Head From New York. The tune reaches back to one of Wilson’s best-known early songs, and this later riddim treatment gives that hook a leaner, heavier studio feel. Bunny Lee’s name in the credits fits the era well, since he was one of the key producers shaping Jamaican music in the early 1970s. With only two tracks in the set, the release keeps the focus narrow and lets the rhythm and the vocal carry the whole thing.
