Simmer Down produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Attack, Live, Love, Culture Press in 1976
Simmer Down Riddim came out in 1976, produced by Bunny Striker Lee for Attack, Live and Love and Culture Press, and it gathers a tight set of roots-era cuts that move between singers and deejays. Johnny Clarke’s Simmer Down (No More Gun) is the key vocal here, with Big Joe’s Keep Rocking And Swinging, The Aggrovators’ version cut, and Trinity’s later Simmer Thing adding extra weight to the line-up. Bunny Lee was deep into one of his most productive periods in the mid-1970s, and this riddim reflects that sharp, road-tested style with a strong mix of melody, message, and version work.
