We really don’t think there was a better album of vocal reggae put out during the early reggae era. Jackie Bernard’s lead vocals were just too damn nice and the harmonies sweet enough to give you cavities. Straight from the first cut “Your Love” through to their biggest tunes “Sufferer” and “Hold Down” the album really doesn’t let up. Derrick Harriott did one of a hell of a job with the trio, although their output for J.J. Johnson prior to working with Harriott would leave one to believe the talents present could have performed well under any producers guidance. And “Sufferer”, what a tune! Get this album.

Kingstonians on Caltone

To get you a little more excited for that Caltone compilation, here’s one of our favorite tracks on it. Been a top tune for us for awhile now, as is most of the Kingstonians output to be honest. Lovely Jackie Bernard lead vocal accompanied with the great harmony provided by brother Lloyd Bernard and Radcliffe Bryan. Too sweet.
