Traveling Man Riddim – Troback Sound

A warm, mid-tempo roots groove with enough swing to carry the singers, Traveling Man Riddim opens in that easy, uplifted lane Troback Sound was working in around 2012, where the bass stays firm but the melody leaves room for the voices. Courtney Melody’s “Attracted To You” and Mykal Rose’s “Live It Up” sit near the front of the pack, while Ginjah and Ras Shiloh bring the conscious side into sharper focus on “Free Your Mind” and “Hail The King. ” There’s a nice range here too: Black Spade’s “Heart No Leap” and Pressure Buss Pipe’s “One For Me” keep the set moving without breaking the riddim’s calm pulse. With 13 cuts in all and a title track from Sixy, this lands as a well-assembled 2012 roots set in Troback Sound’s catalogue, more patient and melodic than hard-edged.
