Added 30/11/10: Billed as a “spectacular meeting of generations”. Young Warrior, the scion of legendary sound man and record producer Jah Shaka, plays, co-writes, harmonises and mixes everything here in his own Young Warrior Studio for veteran singer Rockaway, whose voice bears a similarity at times to Freddie McKay. A couple of the backing tracks are do-overs of familiar vintage roots tunes – Earl Sixteen’s Changing World and Rod Taylor’s Ethiopian Kings – the rest are from what I can hear originals, and all vocals are followed by Young Warrior dubs. Vinyl only, so far.
