Late Night Blues produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Justice, Vista, Shuttle in 1978
Late Night Blues Riddim brings together Bunny Striker Lee productions for Justice, Vista, and Shuttle, with the earliest cuts landing in 1978 and later voices extending it into the early dancehall years. Cornell Campbell and Ranking Dread’s Bandulu and Don Carlos’ title cut anchor the set, while John Wayne’s Boogie Down, Neville Brown’s The Right Time, and Ranking Dread’s Hard Time add a rougher late-period edge. The mix of roots singers and deejay style reflects the way Bunny Lee kept stretching one rhythm across different eras, and the Shuttle connection points to the 1983 reworks that kept the riddim active beyond its first run.
