STEPPIN' YOUTH: BUNNY "STRIKER" LEE SPECIAL

STEPPIN' YOUTH: BUNNY "STRIKER" LEE SPECIAL
DUBROOM MP3 REVIEW




WWW, February 2008 - Steppin' Youth brings us an interesting 45 minutes of strictly Bunny Lee productions with a well appriciloved emphasis on his 1970's works with Johnnie Clarke, King Tubby and the Aggrovators (Sly and Robbie).

Bunny Lee started working in the Jamaican Recording Industry from before there was a mention of the music called Reggae. After initially starting with Duke Reid's Sound System, he quickly went on to produce (read: finance) releases himself.

It was under the financial supervision of Edward O' Sullivan "Bunny" Lee that Reggae Drummer Carlos "Santa" Davis developed the now classic Flying Cymbal sound (with an open hi-hat on the 2nd and 4th count of every bar) in the mid 1970's.

Steppin' Youths tribute to this excellent producer focuses especially on the works that Bunny Lee did in this very same era of the mid 1970's. The time wherein singers like Johnny Clarke and Cornell Campbell sang their Conscious lyrics over the militant riddims played by Channel One Studio's House Band the Aggrovators.

Not just singers, though...

The Podcast features some very catchy DJ tracks by U Roy, Dillinger and others. Of course, King Tubby is there too with a number of heavyweight DUB version.

Crucial!
