Reggae Album Cover Art

I want to say the Jack Kirby "Hulk" with the wicked dreads is the winner here, but the simple type treatment on the Yabby You record is probably still my favorite.

Cornel Campbell: Return of The Gorgon

This is the second time Cornel Campbell has been on SDTW. The first time he appeared on here I posted some classic material, but this time I hand picked some tunes that really show the "Gorgon" running the dance.

Cornel Campbell much like Gregory Isaacs exemplifies more of a lovers rock or crooner style of singing that could really be used for all types of genres not just roots. I never have been big on lovers rock as a genre, but after warming up to Cornel Campbell, Gregory Isaacs, Beres Hammond, Freddie McGregor, and the like I've found that all of these artists are not really bound by just their lovers rock title and have heaps of roots tunes and early dancehall styled tunes that crush the dance.

Most of the tunes I picked can be found on the Trojan "Natty Dread" Anthology which for what it's worth is actually better then the Blood & Fire "I Shall Not Remove" compilation.

Enjoy!
