Peter And Judas Riddim – Mafia

Peter And Judas Riddim – Mafia is a tight 1972 Keith Hudson production for Mafia, built around just two cuts: Horace Andy and Earl Flute’s Peter And Judas and Keith Hudson with Chuckles on Satan Side. The pairing gives the release a compact, heavyweight feel, with Horace Andy’s smooth vocal lead set against Hudson’s darker, more stripped-back side. It’s a small selection, but that’s part of the appeal, since each track gets room to breathe and the rhythm carries a strong early roots edge. Keith Hudson’s name comes up often in this era for a reason, and this set is a good snapshot of his moody, inventive approach to reggae production.
