Two classic Big Youth albums on one disc, from the mid-seventies. Natty Cultural Dread features classics such as Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing, Hell Is For Heroes – his swipe at Prince Jazzbo on the same riddim as Hit The Road Jack, Stalag cut Jim Screechie, Every Nigga Is A Star and Keep Your Dread and also contains the epic title track on Gregory Isaacs’ take of Bob Andy’s My Time, the elusive gem I Light & I Salvation and several of his proto-dancehall singjay tunes including his delightfully out of key take on Diana Ross’ Touch Me In The Morning, not a vocoder or auto-tune in sight! Hit The Road Jack contains classics such as the title track, the alternative vocal to Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing entitled here The Way Of Life and the ferociously anti-papal Ten Against One alongside his spirited takes on Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On on the same riddim as Every Nigger Is A Star, Harold Melvin’s Wake Up Everybody.
