Holding Out For Something Greater

A final dip this week into my recent Bandcamp Friday shopping bag, with another 10-track selection, split into two sides for your listening pleasure.

 

The selection starts off with two legends, Winston Reedy and Dennis Bovell, performing an acapella version of Lovers Rock classic After Tonight by Bovell's former band Matumbi. Dennis Bovell returns for the finale on Side 2, this time with Roots United and Skarra Mucci.

 

In between, there's a fair bit of globe trotting, taking in artists from or based in France, Germany, England, Norway, Australia, Mexico, Chile, Jamaica and the USA.

 

I've included two artists on the ever-excellent Paisley Dark Records and a couple more extracts from the EarthPercent x Earth Day Compilation Album, featured yesterday. 

 

An eclectic but fun selection, I think.
