The Pioneers - Long Shot

This is an absolutely gorgeous album, mostly known for its beautiful, captivating rude boy ska standard track ''Long Shot Kick De Bucket'', which melted hearts and delighted ears in the late 60s. Member of The Pioneers George Agard aka George Dekker, was actually half-brother to the highly successful ska musician Desmond Dekker. The founding members of The Pioneers, Sydney Crooks along with his brother Derrick Crooks also recorded under the name The Slickers with Winston Bailey, mostly known for their track ''Johnny Too Bad'', which features on the soundtrack to the famous movie, The Harder They Come. This is a highly talented group, the songs are fairly simple in their construction, with silk like vocals and grooves that rumble along like a freight train.
