Jimmy Cliff “Struggling Man” (1973) Jimmy’s follow-up to one of the greatest records ever “The Harder They Come”. Not as celebrated musically, but the cover is pretty damn cool. Cliff is one of the 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.

“Space Flight” Carlos Malcolm and His Afro-Jamaican Rhythms (“The Sound of the Soil”) Carlos plays Trombone and (little did I know til just now) wrote most of the incidental music to the James Bond movie “Dr. No” He had a big mid-sixties hit with his version of the “Bonanza” TV Theme called…”Bonanza Ska” I like his song “No Jestering” a hit in 1974. And who can forget his other million seller, “Fattie Bum Bum”.

“Acid” Ray Barretto Fania Records (1968) A classic. A well-know dance floor firestarter, but also a great cover worthy of another look. Features “Acid”, “Teacher of Love”, “Mercy, Mercy, Baby”, “Soul Drummers”, “A Deeper Shade of Soul” – the whole LP is an afro-latin, soul, funk and boogaloo fusion that makes you wanna move your feet. “Have you heard them cooking / The Soul Drummers / well they play so cool / Soul Drummers / so hard to resist / Soul Drummers / with the African twist.” A jewel in the amazing Fania catalog. Drop “Acid” at your next party and see what happens.
