    A collection  of Horace  Andy's cuts  with producer  Tapper Zukie, the
    great Natty Dread a Weh She  Want finds the haunting singer at  a time
    when dancehall  was overtaking  roots music.  Zukie's contribution  to
    keeping the roots spirit alive during this time can't be  understated.
    Besides Andy, he was cutting tracks with Beres Hammond, Dennis  Brown,
    and many other waning  roots superstars. Zukie's driving  riddims were
    designed to compete  with the dancehall  upstarts, but he  never put a
    rootsman in too slick surroundings and resisted cheese like it was the
    plague. Andy was between his heralded 1977 album In the Light and  his
    now very  in vogue  early-'80s work  with the  Wackie's label. Looking
    back from 2006,  it's hard to  understand why this  album fell through
    the  cracks, since  the title  cut was  a revolution  at the  time  in
    Jamaica. Sometimes  called "Pretty  Young Girl,"  sometimes "She Wants
    Me," "Natty Dread a Weh She  Want" finds the singer yearning for  love
    over  an update  of Alton  Ellis' "Hurting  Me" riddim.  The  updating
    riddims  device would  soon explode  thanks in  no small  part to  the
    track's success. Andy's  trendsetting cut is  right up there  with his
    breakthrough hit "Skylarking," and the rest of the album is nearly  as
    strong, featuring a winning mix  of smooth lovers rock and  conscious,
    harder cuts like the great "Freedom" and the even better "(Stop  Your)
    Brutality."  Trojan's  reissue sweetens  the  deal with  a  handful of
    versions  and 12"  mixes that  stretch Zukie's  grooves past  the  six
    -minute mark, making them  all the more delicious.  Reissue-wise, this
    is the lost era  of Horace Andy, but  it certainly wasn't because  the
    material was substandard. Trojan's expanded edition corrects this  big
    mistake and offers fantastic bonus  tracks as an apology to  the man's
    ever-expanding fan base.
