Milk And Honey produced by Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, Donovan Germain, Dave Kelly, Sylvain Perret for Joe Gibbs, Penthouse, Reggae Fever in 1978
Milk And Honey Riddim was produced in 1978 by Joe Gibbs, Errol Thompson, Donovan Germain, Dave Kelly and Sylvain Perret, and it pulls together a strong mix of roots voices and later cut versions around Dennis Brown’s title tune, Gregory Isaacs’ Counterfeit Lover, and Nana McLean’s Hold It Down. The set ties classic late-70s reggae to 1980s and 2012 interpretations, so it has that cross-era feel while still being anchored by the original Dennis Brown cut. Joe Gibbs’ name gives it added weight, with his productions long associated with some of the era’s most enduring Jamaican recordings, and the lineup here keeps the focus on melody, conscious lyricism and heavyweight singer selection.
