More vinyl reissues from Greensleeves. They called him the man with the musical message and nowhere was the full effect of Keith Hudson’s mighty, brooding Rasta vibrations felt than in the 1978 release of “Rasta Communication”. Recorded at Randy’s, Channel One & Chalk Farm with a final tweak from Prince Jammy at King Tubby’s, it featured a top line up of Jamaica’s finest musicians including Family Man & Carlton Barrett and Sly & Robbie. Essential!

Hudson’s relationship with Virgin was, to say the least, tempestuous. Because of his outspoken liberterian Rasta ideology, Virgin had in mind molding him into the the next Bob Marley, a marketing ploy that Hudson vigorously resisted. Still, Virgin thought it had a Marley-type album when Hudson delivered this set of hard riddims. Although not quite Catch a Fire, Rasta Communication is a fine effort, with Hudson upping the political ante on songs like “Felt the Strain” and “My Eyes Are Red.” ~ John Dougan
