Reggae fans have been treated by Richie Spice with an instant classic titled Rasta Man. The track is a tribute to reggae legend Toots Hibbert. It will feature on a multi-song album with 25 other artists, released by Tad’s International Record. Toots, whose classic songs include 54-46, Pressure Drop, and Bam Bam, died from complications of Covid-19 in 2020 at age 77.
The album comes as a celebration of Jamaica 61. It also has songs by Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs, Big Youth, Hezron, Duane Stephenson, Glen Washington, Jesse Royal, Big Mountain, Chezidek, and George Nooks.
This is reggae at the core, and it is delivered by the old-timers themselves. Rasta Man in particular is Richie Spice at his best. With his signature trumpets and unique vocals, Rasta Man serves as another special one from the Gideon Boot legend.
