Barry Brown - Step It Up Youthman


This LP features Sly & Robbie, the unfailing and dynamic drum and bass duo, whose name grace a lot of music to come out of Jamaica for many years. The tracks to look out for on here are "Trying Youthman'' and ''Give Thanks & Praise''. There are some serious grooves going on Step It Up Youthman. It actually resembles Big Youth and Horace Andy. The Agrovators are actually credited, who came to prominence working with King Tubby. The overall vibe is quite pleasant, derived from hot steamy days in Kingston, and to think that Barry Brown wrote and sang 6 of these tracks, the other song writing credits go to Delroy Wilson and Dennis Brown. Barry Brown died in 2004 after falling and hitting his head.
