Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - No More Heroes

Mike Murphy — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 13:20:08 GMT

Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - No More Heroes. The Stranglers said it! In the last few years so many luminaries of Jamaican music have passed on. Coxsone Dodd, Joe Gibbs, Alton Ellis, Mikey Dread, and now, just in the last few weeks, Byron Lee. Jamaicans celebrate life not death, and in that light I offer a collection of music by artists, producers and engineers, sadly no longer with us in body, but definately still here in musical spirit! This is definately 'A Big Peoples Music' show, as a man called Gordy would say.... Let the Music Play...Listen on and you will see... Tracks include - Freddy McKay - Slip Away Alton Ellis - I'll Be Waiting Dennis Brown - There Must Be A Fight Bob Marley and the Wailers - Jailhouse Jackie Mittoo - Napoleon Solo Hugh Mundell - Africa Must Be Free Augustus Pablo - The Way Jacob Miller - Ghetto On Fire Barry Brown - Step It Up Mikey Dread DATC - Control Tower Dub Don Drummond - Burning Torch Leroy Smart - Let Your Heart Be Pure King Tubby - Anti Christ Rock Slim Smith - The New Boss Sir Gibbs (Joe Gibbs) - People Grudgeful Tommy McCook and John 'Dizzy' Moore - Sound & Soul I-Roy - Wise Man A Rasta Man Ranking Prince Far I - So Long Joseph Hill (Culture) - So Long In my opinion this is one of the nicest selections I've done for a time, I hope you think so too...

Bigmikeydread presents... Alton Ellis - R.I.P.

Mike Murphy — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:42:53 GMT

Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio - alton Ellis - A Tribute Alton Ellis one of the greatest Jamaican singers has died, here is my tribute to him. Strange becuase I'm not a massive Alton fan, it's just that his death signifies something, most of our heroes are passing away, the times they are a changin'. It took this show to convince me that I need to re-access, and listen to more Alton! **** Note - Unfortunately I've buggered the vocal channel on this recording and it is too loud on occassion, I don't have the time in my busy life these days to re-do and so I ask you all to forgive me this once? I'll be following this show with one, sooner than you think hopefully entitled 'No More Heroes' the theme of which should be obvious to you now.... -----------------------------------------* No track listing on this occassion, though Alton being Alton, expect, Treasure Isle and Studio One in full effect! -----------------------------------------* You can become a fan of the Bigmikeydread R.R. by going to the link below, or why not come in and sign up to the Facebook Group 'Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio', where you can tell me what you'd like, find more music to listen to and generally just come to chat on the old front porch with me, your host, Mikey... http://www.podomatic.com/profile/fan/bigmikeydread Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio really needs your help.

BMD RR meets HOR Inna Buxted Station

Mike Murphy — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 12:38:02 GMT

Bigmikeydread Meets House Of Reggae Inna Buxted Station - Aka 'Speak Up Ian'! At a secret location somewhere near Buxted in East Sussex, just off the A22, down the road from Uckfield,.... long time friends and Reggae Music spars Ian 'Rankin' Causer and Bigmikey 'Mikey' the tonsils Dread 'Murphy' meet at a small rural railway station. In the depths of human history are contained gem like moments when human kind has advanced itself by a leap rather than a step. Every now and then two disparate elements combine to create a crucible for change, a moment of pure genius, a new species. It was with this in mind that House of Reggae met Bigmikeydread Reggae Radio, to creat a wonderful new creature. Instead, after 2 hours in the studio a wobbly, poorly stitched Frankenstein like monster of a musical show was all we had to show for years of effort and strivation! Listen and endure, or alternatively.... enjoy! Tracks are: Ranking Joe * Spread Propaganda Neville Irons * Soul Glide Ken Parker * Only Yesterday Prince Buster * City Riot Prince Buster * Kings Of Old Kid Gungo * Hold The Pussy Lloyd Robinson * Cuss Cuss Karl Bryan * Soul Scorcher Clint Eastwood * True True Loving Justin Hinds and the Dominoes * Satan Baba Brooks Band * Girls Town Ska Tommy McCook and the Skatalites * Occupation (Deejay's with Salad Names interlude) Ethiopians * Satan Boy Creole * Jah Creation Gregory Isaacs - Handcuff Prince Alla * Their Reward U-Roy * Listen To Teacher Lloyd and Devon * Red Bum Ball Higgs and Wilson * Deep In My Heart Dennis Brown - Easy Take It Easy Sugar Minott - Mr. D.C.
