Rhodesia Riddim – Joint

Rhodesia Riddim – Joint comes from Keith Hudson’s Joint imprint and is pegged to 1978, with just two cuts carrying the set: Alton Ellis’s Rhodesia and the dub version Red Sea. Hudson was already well known for his deep, moody production style, and that atmosphere is what gives this one its identity here. With Ellis on the vocal side and a stripped-back dub companion, the release keeps its focus tight and rooted in late-’70s roots reggae, leaning more on heavy feeling and space than on volume.
