The On-U stuff is earlier, still choice though. My favorites, all on
Virgin or Virgin Front Line, are "Cry Tuff Dub Encounter, pt. 2,"
"Longlife," and "Message from the King" with its fabulous tune with
Culture, 'Commandment of Drugs' ("can't you see that cocaine ain't
no good for the human bein'?).I also like his "Psalms for I" on Carib Gems, his take on some of
the Psalms of David and The Lord's Prayer.And let's not forget his sporadic work with The Suns of Arqa.
I wish he had done more work with Bim Sherman other than sharing
vocals with Singers and Players. And I wish he had worked with The
Dub Syndicate or Lee Perry. He's gone now, though, murdered in a
burglary of his home. Well, as Ray Charles said in his yanked Schlitz
beer commercial with Willie Nelson, "Nobody gets out of here alive.
Sorry." Regards,J.R.
