██ ░▄
██│ In 2019, musicians Zak Starkey and Sharna "Sshh" Liguz launched the
██│ Trojan Jamaica record label, in partnership with BMG. The label's
██│ critically-acclaimed debut offering, Red, Gold, Green & Blue, was a
██│ compilation of classic American soul, r&b, and blues tunes, as
██│ interpreted by legendary Jamaican reggae artists. That eclectic blend
██│ of stars and styles quickly landed RGGB on the pages of media outlets
██│ like Rolling Stone and Relix.
██│
██│ The full collection now gets a remix treatment from UK sound designer
██│ Rob Jevons, whose credits include work on The Prodigy's No Tourists
██│ album, which debuted at number one on the Official UK Albums Chart.
██│ With label founders Starkey and Liguz producing, Trojan Jamaica
██│ proudly releases the 12-track Red, Gold, Green & Blue RMXZ album.
██│
██│ Big Youth's version of Bo Diddley's "Gunslinger" now fires off like a
██│ militant dancehall march through a Spaghetti Western. Big Youth's
██│ rhythmic chat rides the snares as he tells the story of his dub
██│ slinging precision. The charismatic deejay makes an appearance later
██│ in the tracklist on the ska-rocking remix of "Temperature," a song
██│ originally recorded by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer bluesman, Little
██│ Walter.
██│
██│ Freddie McGregor's take on Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen"
██│ delves into classic rock territory, as psychedelic guitar solos soar
██│ over a slow and steady processionary stomp, reminiscent of The Doors'
██│ "Five to One."
██│
██│ Already a standout number from the original RGGB release, newcomer
██│ Phylea Carley's fiery vocal delivery on her version of Muddy Waters'
██│ "Baby Please Don't Go" is now supported by a head-nodding hip hop
██│ beat, complete with a lush brass arrangement and a touch of jazz
██│ piano.
██│
██│ Black Uhuru's Mykal Rose, who is featured on three tracks, shows that
██│ his silky voice will shine through any music bed, whether it's the
██│ dub-drenched one-drop riddim of "I Put A Spell On You" (originally a
██│ Screamin' Jay Hawkins tune), the city street beat of his rendition of
██│ Howlin' Wolf's "44 Blues," or his execution of Johnny and Shuggie
██│ Otis' "Bad Luck Shadow" over a hauntingly dark trip hop arrangement
██│ that progressively builds in intensity until it becomes a manic drum
██│ 'n bass exploration.
██│
██│ Andrew Tosh, son of reggae icon Peter Tosh, contributes vocals to
██│ Willie Dixon's classic "Don't Go No Further," a song previously
██│ recorded by acts like Muddy Waters and The Doors. Rob Jevons, who also
██│ designs sounds and programs synths for such electronic instrument
██│ giants as Nord Keyboards, Steinberg, and Native Instruments, among
██│ others, flips the new version into a dubstep expedition that rides out
██│ through the end of the track.
██│
██│ ?The only song included on RGGB RMXZ that did not previously appear on
██│ the original RGGB album is a version of Paul Gayten and Robert
██│ Guidry's "But I Do," performed by musical luminary, Cyril Neville, the
██│ youngest Neville Brother, and vocalist/percussionist in the original
██│ New Orleans funk pioneers, The Meters. Cyril's netherworldly rasp over
██│ Jevon's moody remix is a far departure from the upbeat Charlie
██│ "Frogman" Henry version heard recently in Expedia commercials touting
██│ their ability to provide dog-friendly hotel accommodations.
██│
██│ Trojan Jamaica co-founder and SSHH band vocalist Sharna "Sshh" Liguz
██│ brings a powerful angst to her bluesy, yet punk versions of Willie
██│ Dixon's oft-covered "Wang Dang Doodle" (creatively blended with
██│ Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" here) that Rob Jevons elevates to arena-rock
██│ heights at the song's crescendo. As the fledgling record label forges
██│ ahead with its first release of 2020, Sshh appropriately warns:
██│
██│ Gonna break out all the windows
██│ Gonna kick down all the doors
██│ Gonna fuss til midnight
██│ And we're gonna fight til daylight
██│
██│ Closing out the set is a rousing presentation of Willie Dixon's "Bring
██│ It On Home," with renowned Jamaican bassist Robbie Shakespeare taking
██│ the helm at vocals. The innovative musician/producer's versatility
██│ here serves as a fitting metaphor for the Red, Gold, Green & Blue RMXZ
██│ project, as he leaves his comfort zone behind the bass, to create
██│ something unique and beautiful.
██│
██│ Label chiefs (and SSHH bandmates) Starkey and Liguz jointly offered
██│ this elaboration about the project and its intention: "The initial
██│ Trojan Jamaica release Red, Gold, Green & Blue is all about taking a
██│ new approach with Jamaican flavor, to classic blues songs that
██│ inspired so many people -- not only musicians/artists but people from
██│ all walks of life. In particular, the suffering people that æsocietyÆ
██│ didnÆt/donÆt acknowledge. The power of music gave, and continues to
██│ give a voice, a sound, and a sense of hope to anyone who needs it.
██│ Music gives unconditional love. it doesnÆt discriminate & it has no
██│ borders. Music is the universal language. It can speak to one and all.
██│
██│ RGGB RMXZ is once again breathing new life into those classic songs.
██│ By approaching the tracks in new and various evolving, electronical
██│ ways, it is our goal to continue the legacy of the legends, without
██│ whom, the journey to contemporary music and its landscape would be a
██│ very different view. We give thanks and praise to those who came
██│ before us and those who will carry the flame once we are gone."
██│
██│ Rob Jevons added: "It was a complete honor and a pleasure to be asked
██│ by Zak and Sshh to work with them on this remix album. Being given the
██│ vocal tracks of pioneers, legends, and extremely talented people, and
██│ to be able to put my own spin on it, was a dream. Zak said that he
██│ didnÆt want ô four to the floorö stuff that remixes have generally
██│ been known for in the past. He and Sshh wanted to put something out
██│ there that was a bit off kilter, and luckily for me, they asked me to
██│ help them on that journey."
██│
██│ About Trojan Jamaica: The story of Trojan Jamaica began in 2016 when
██│ Zak Starkey û known for his superlative work as drummer in The Who,
██│ Oasis, and Johnny Marr and the Healers, among countless other musical
██│ efforts û and Australian-born artist-musician Sharna ôSshhö Liguz,
██│ united as the band SSHH. They traveled to Kingston to reinvent such
██│ seminal songs as Bob Marley and the WailersÆ ôGet Up Stand Up,ö
██│ performing alongside rock legend Eddie Vedder and pioneering reggae
██│ musicians Carlton ôSantaö Davis, George ôFullyö Fullwood, and Tony
██│ Chin, all alumni of the elite Jamaican session band, Soul Syndicate. A
██│ video of that performance made its way to Jamaican entrepreneur
██│ Kingsley Cooper, who immediately invited Starkey and Liguz to perform
██│ at the November 2016 opening of the long-awaited Peter Tosh Museum in
██│ Kingston. Another invitation followed in 2017, inspiring the duo to
██│ begin work on what would soon become an incredible new venture. In
██│ February 2019, the new frontline label, Trojan Jamaica, was announced.
██│ Distributed globally by BMG, the company's mission is to bring
██│ newly-produced, Jamaican-made music to the world.
