The Good The Bad And The Ugly – Dennis Star Records

THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UGLY – DENNIS STAR RECORDS 1988

Dennis Star’s The Good The Bad And The Ugly comes off like a compact late-’80s roots-to-early-digital showcase, with Courtney Melody, Mikey Melody and Sanchez all working the same nine cuts across a tough, bassy groove. Courtney Melody opens with the stern sound boy warning of Sound Boy Tears and keeps the pressure on in Weh Dem A Go Do and With You, while Sanchez leans into Cupid Medly, Just A Lover and Sound Clash with a smoother, more melodic touch. Mikey Melody’s three tunes sit right in the middle and keep the pace moving, giving the riddim a slightly rough-edged, singjay feel rather than a straight lovers cut. It’s a small lineup, but the sequencing keeps the energy tight, and that final Sound Clash cut lands like the closing shot.
