Horace Andy & Tapper Zukie – Natty Dread A Weh She Want

29th September 1972 · 1970s, 1972, Music, Reggae

Here’s an all-star double-bill – Horace Andy singing and Tapper Zukie toasting and a nice laid-back dub as a bonus.

.With the tune carried along on a sweet horn melody, Andy’s smooth voice shows all the soul and passion that led to Massive Attack inviting him to sing on all their albums.

Seeing that this was recorded way back in 1972 makes me realise how far ahead of its time it was. Especially considering it’s based on an older Alton Ellis riddim called Hurting Me.. later turning up on a massive King Tubby production by Leroy Smart and U-Roy called Don’t Mix With Evil.
