Sly & Robbie – The Sixties, Seventies + Eighties = Taxi
Only 1 left in stock
$15.00
“Taxi is Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare’s own label and production company, and this 1981 collection is something of a statement of purpose for the pair. The mathematical title is entirely right on. Most of these songs are radical reworkings of the 1960s R&B and soul hits that influenced the first wave of ska and reggae musicians, filtered through Sly and Robbie’s experience as Jamaica’s leading rhythm section of the ’70s and the cutting-edge production techniques of the early ’80s. Dunbar in particular at this time was fascinated by electronics, layering his own flawless grooves with synthesizers and electronic drums while Shakespeare’s rubbery bass carried the melodies. Gems like Curtis Mayfield’s Impressions-era classic “You Don’t Care” and a lover’s rock version of Sam Cooke’s “Only 16″ are among the highlights on this album.” – allmusic.com
