Jordan River produced by Alvin Ranglin, Coxsone Dodd for Studio One in 1970
Jordan River Riddim is a 1970 Studio One cut produced by Alvin Ranglin and Coxsone Dodd, and it brings together Dennis Alcapone’s King Of Kings, Max Romeo and Glen Adams on Jordan River, and Sugar Minott’s later 1979 take, Guidance. The session leans on classic Studio One feel, with that rootsy, stripped-back rhythm carrying deejay fire, harmony work, and a more reflective vocal turn across the three tracks. Max Romeo and Glen Adams give the title cut its name, while Sugar Minott’s inclusion adds a later link to the same foundation, showing how the riddim kept circulating through different eras of Jamaican music.
