Release Notes:
Horace Andy's Exclusively features the beautiful
voice of the great Mr. Andy, recorded in 1983, at
the same session that produced what some feel is
his best album, Dance Hall Style. If that album is
indeed his best then this isn't far behind. Andy
floats and bobs like a sparring angel and the songs
are as catchy as bird flu and wrapped in heavy,
typically dubby and note-perfect Wackies
arrangements and productions. The record never
drags like much roots reggae of the era and you
have to credit Andy's light touch for this.
Highlights are his touching tribute to Bob Marley
("Bob Lives On, Love Him"), which rides a guitar
lick Steve Cropper would have loved to have come up
with, the rollicking "Eating Mess" and "Love in the
City," which is a version of Andy's classic
"Spyglass." You have to look pretty hard to find
better '80s reggae than this.
