August 6 is a time of reflection for Jamaicans. It is on this day that they
celebrate their independence from Great Britain in 1962. Tad’s
International Record marks the big day with a musical tribute, Celebrating
Jamaica 62, the third in a series of albums hailing Jamaica’s
sovereignty. Produced by Tad Dawkins Jr and containing 19 songs, this album
resonates the sounds that are uniquely Jamaican. The songs cover genres that
have made Jamaican music globally respected. From Dancehall to Roots-Reggae and
Rock Steady. Celebrating Jamaica 62 was preceded by Celebrating Jamaica 50 and
Celebrating Jamaica 61. Fittingly, the latest installment also includes
‘Rocking Miss Lou’ by saxophonist Dean Fraser and singer Nicole
Bolt. This medley includes renditions of ‘Evening Time’ and
‘Linstead Market’, folksy ditties made famous by legendary
folklorist and social activist Louise “Miss Lou” Bennett Coverley.
Gregory Isaacs’ Reggae rendition of American soul singer Mike
Williams’ ‘Lonely Soldier’ and Duane Stephenson’s
take on The Melodians’ ‘Sweet Sensation’ are hints of the
tantalizing musical of Celebrating Jamaica 62. Beenie Man and Hezron’s
cover of The Temptations Ain’t Too Proud to Beg’, ‘Baby
Don’t Go’ by JC Lodge, ‘Too Much Guns’ by Josey
Wales, and Richie Spice’s cover of Toots and The Maytals’ 1969
Festival Song Contest winner, ‘Sweet And Dandy’, are some of the
foot-stomping tracks on Celebrating Jamaica 62. Tad Dawkins Sr, principal and
founder of Tad’ International Record, stressed the importance of the
Celebrating Jamaica series, “This compilation is so important as it
showcases Reggae and Dancehall culture which are distinctively ours. These
albums also highlight the talent of some of Jamaica’s female and male
vocalists, and instrumentalists. And of course, Celebrating Jamaica’s
62nd independence in musical expressions is Tad’s Record’s way of
paying homage to who we are as a people,” he noted. Celebrating Jamaica 62
is a collector’s item and a treasure for lovers of the sound of Reggae
and Dancehall music.
