Horace Andy's 30-year career has been something of a musician's dream. Crossing generations and genres, he has maintained his credibility by continuing to offer quality output. This collection brings together the cream of Andy's early work for Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd's Studio One label. Standout cuts include "Skylarking," Andy's second cut for Studio One, and his first hit. Also included is the original version of "You Are My Angel," which would later attract the singer a new audience with the 1998 remake he cut with Massive Attack.
Andy's ability to wrap his tenor voice around your soul while sometimes dipping into a haunting falsetto is reason enough to cherish his work. He breathes an angelic sweetness into the rugged bounce of tracks like "Nice and Easy" and his obligatory marijuana ode "Collie Weed." Andy even gives the king himself a run for his money on the remake of Bob Marley's classic "Natural Mystic." If your knowledge of Horace Andy is limited to his more current work, THE PRIME is sure to keep you hungry for more.
