Jamaican music, largely nourished by soul, first garnered wide attention through its splendid vocal trios. Modeled after American groups such as The Impressions or the Four Tops, these ensembles had their moment of glory in the mid-sixties with rocksteady vocal groups such as The Paragons and The Techniques, and then in the following decade with reggae groups such as The Abyssinians and The Wailers. Picked up in their day by dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson (who wrote the liner notes for the album Proverbial Reggae), The Gladiators embody the unique liveliness of the trio format.
Bassist and singer Clinton Fearon is the driving force of this brilliant trio, and has since enjoyed a successful solo career. With an impressive discography behind him, Fearon takes to the studio here for a new Analogue session. Backed by a solid line-up of musicians, the Rastafarian creator kicks off this recording with “Where Do We Go.” Anchored by a steely rhythm (the keystone of reggae), the track immediately stands out with its mystical dimension. The equally powerful “Let It Grow” unveils an ethereal composition. This joyful performance is carried by an unstoppable introduction on guitar. And the incredible “Chatty Chatty Mouth,” a classic by The Gladiators, brings the legendary Caribbean contretemps into the modern day – complemented beautifully by an organ with its splendid churchy reminiscences. Let's rock!
