Culture - Baldhead Bridge '1993

Tracks list

Cultures Joe Gibbs-produced sessions of 1976 not only resulted in Two Sevens
Clash -- they also gave us the excellent Baldhead Bridge. A true reggae classic,
Baldhead Bridge points to the fact that Culture was among the most distinctive
reggae acts to emerge in the 70s. Although Culture was influenced by Burning
Spear, treasures like Them a Payaka, Jah Love and Love Shines Brighter point to
the fact that Cultures music is quite recognizable itself. The group gets a lot
of its sweetness from the northern soul and sweet soul of the 60s and 70s --
while hearing this LP, listeners are reminded of the impact that the Delfonics,
the Impressions and other soul favorites had on reggae. But Cultures sound also
owes a debt to Afro-Caribbean music and African pop. Put all those influences
together, and you have a group that sounded incredibly fresh to the many reggae
fans who discovered its music in the late 70s. Like Two Sevens Clash, Baldhead
Bridge is among Cultures most essential releases.
