Lovers Rock: The Soulful Sound Of Romantic Reggae
The first British reggae sub-genre to achieve 'outernational' success and influence the music of Jamaica, lovers rock
was a dominating force in the UK scene, from the mid-Seventies through to the close of the Eighties. Developed largely
as a counterpoint to the more militant style of roots reggae, the romantically-themed genre was heavily influenced by
the styles of US R&B and the predominantly soulful Jamaican rock steady sound of the Sixties. Comprising 25 of the most
popular and influential recordings in the style, the collection includes works by such legendary British performers as
Janet Kay, Carroll Thompson and Louisa Mark, alongside established Jamaican reggae royalty, notably Gregory Isaacs,
Dennis Brown, John Holt and Sugar Minott. With it's focus firmly upon the best-loved romantic reggae sounds of the
Seventies and Eighties, this essential collection of dancefloor favorites provides the most authentic representation of
lovers rock sounds yet to see issue.
