Built around Crazy Joe and dating back to 1967, Love And Devotion Riddim pulls together a deep roots line that links back to Bunny Lee’s original Love And Devotion cut and later Crazy Joe-era versions. Among the key names here are Freddie McGregor with My Best Girl, Mikey Spice with Ain’t Giving Up, and Richie Stephens with Thank You Lord, while George Nooks, Glen Washington, and Joseph Cotton also add familiar voices across the set. The riddim’s character is very much vintage Jamaican foundation music with a later revival feel, carrying the kind of lean, melodic swing that made the Love And Devotion name recognisable in both the original period and the later Crazy Joe catalogue.
