With a career spanning over 50 years, U Brown is one of the last living legends of Jamaican reggae. Singer, toaster and producer on the famous Hits sound label, he has spanned the decades, leaving an indelible mark on roots reggae with hits such as ‘Weather baloon’, ‘Superstar’ and ‘Repatriation’.

His discretion and humility, despite the fact that he is one of the biggest toaster as U Roy or Big Youth in the world, make him a cornerstone of the music.

After many years of collaboration on stage and in studio, U Brown and the French label Irie Ites Records have joined forces to produce this new album entitled Still Chanting Rub A Dub'.

Comprising 12 tracks, this opus showcases U Brown's unmistakable voice, recognisable from the very first notes. The themes revolve around current social issues, in which the artist encourages us to surpass ourselves on a daily basis and to fight against the corruption of the most powerful. Lyrics that will speak to a wide audience!

Musicians on the album include the cream of reggae songwriters such as the Roots Radics, Jammys, Mafia & Fluxy, Med Tone, The Ligerians, Irie Ites All Stars, Nambo Robinson and Dean Fraser. All mixed by Roberto Sanchez and Irie Ites for a rootsy result in the image of 70's albums. Note the exceptional presence of several big names in roots reggae on differents tracks featuring singer Eek A Mouse, Cornell Campbell, Frankie Paul, Naggo Morris, Glen Washington, Linval Thompson, Chezidek, Sugar Minott, Al Campbell or Trinity.

Still chanting Rub A Dub is an album that will undoubtedly mark U Brown's long career, and will undoubtedly be one of his landmark albums.

 

A must-have for all Reggae Roots fans!  Oldschool Sound !
