Toots & The Maytals: Toots (vocals, percussion); Rad Bryan, Hux Brown, Carl Harvey (guitar); Dean Frasier, Nambo Robinson, David Madden, Johnny Moore (horns); Winston Wright, Robbie Lyn, Harold Butler (keyboards); Family Man Barrett, Jackie Jackson, Mikey Chung (bass); Winston Grennan, Paul Douglas (drums); Skully, Carrot (percussion); Leba Hibbert, Raliegh Gordon, Jerry Mathias (background vocals). Buring Brass: Pam Fleming, Jenny Hill, Nilda Richards (horns). SKA FATHER was nominated for a 1999 Grammy for Best Reggae Album. Frederick "Toots" Hibbert is believed by many to have been the first to coin the word REGGAE with the release of his early 60's hit "Do The Reggay." With over thirty-five years of performing under his belt, Toots has been dubbed the Godfather of Ska, and the appropriately titled 1998 release SKA FATHER shows him keeping right in step. As one would expect, the record is dominated by a bright uptempo pace and the characteristic sound of ska: accelerated, jerky guitar and drum lines which create a taut rhythmic structure by emphasizing the off-beat. Light, propulsive drumming powers catchy pop-song melodies like "Pressure Drop," "Do You Believe" and "Broadway Jungle '98." There are song structures and backup vocals reminiscent of Motown (by way of Kingston) in "There's A Right And A Wrong Way," and gospel leanings in "God Bless You." The disc ends with three dub versions of earlier tracks; fine backup singers and horns are added to flavor the stew. Though these cuts lack Toots soulful, emotional vocals, their danceable appeal adds to a strong album of traditional ska songs by one the genre's originals.

商品の紹介

Although the original incarnation of Toots & the Maytals (Toots Hibbert, Nathaniel "Jerry" McCarthy, and Raleigh Gordon) parted ways in 1981, Toots resurfaced in the early '90s with a revamped version of the group, and has continued to put out albums on various small labels ever since, including this one on Alla Son Records in 1998, which recasts earlier Maytals rocksteady hits like "Broadway Jungle" and "Pressure Drop" as lightly speeded-up ska. Nothing here reaches the fiery gospel fervor of the Leslie Kong-produced originals, but Toots has the kind of voice that would make a sung grocery list sound substantial and funky, so although Ska Father is hardly essential, it isn't a disaster either. "Broadway Jungle '98" refines the ragged, loose funk of the original version, coming out as a bit more studied, but it is still fun, and "Pressure Drop" is only slight less ominous in the speeded-up version presented here. Toots also tackles the Kinks' "You Really Got Me" in ska style, which is definitely interesting. The album closes with dub versions of "You Really Got Me," "Broadway Jungle," and "The Right and the Wrong Way." ~ Steve Leggett|
