Moonlight Lover Riddim pulls together a classic rocksteady-era foundation built around Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle sound, with the 1968 Joya Landis original at its core and later versions from Dennis Alcapone, Winston Wright, Barrington Levy, Bitty McLean and The Supersonics, and others widening the reach of the tune. The project also links into the label crossovers behind the rhythm, touching Treasure Isle, Studio One, Volcano, Peckings, Charm, and RPM Inc. , which helps explain why it feels both archival and collector-minded. Joya Landis’ Moonlight Lover was one of the Treasure Isle cuts that helped define her place in the Jamaican catalog, and the presence of Winston Wright’s Moonlight Groover gives the set an extra instrumental edge.
