Son of Jimmy Riley hits us with his debut set for VP. Some tracks have been on seven-inch like Beware (Political Friction riddim), the title track (which came on the Three Blind Mice riddim), She's Royal (the monster track) and Stay With You. The album is a combination of roots and ladies tunes (but still done in a roots style). Interesting tracks are Something Wrong (which samples Beres Hammond’s Groovy Little Thing), One Two Order which has an awesome Nyahbinghi drumming start to it before going into something that reminds me of what Tony Williams would play back in the day. Lion Paw is a nice one-drop tune. Africa Awaits which came on the Reflections riddim. Final track is a goody. My Baby (Cyan Sleep) takes you to acoustic heaven with a baby crying in the background throughout the track). This is a very nice set from Tarrus.
