1000 Day Album Challenge (#10) Toots & The Maytals: Funky Kingston (1975) [10.01.24]
almost heaven, West Jamaica true ridge mountains, shining down the river…
if I had to guess, I would say the soundtrack to The Harder They Come is the only reggae album I’ve listened to more than Funky Kingston. I think because of my love for The Clash I began listening to reggae artists beyon Bob Marley & The Wailers just about from the start. they covered a number of reggae tunes including Junior Murvin’s Police & Thieves, The Rulers' Wrong Emboyo, Danny Ray & The Revolutionaries’ Revolution Rock, and Willi WIlliams’ Armagideon Time.
I first heard Sweet and Dandy and Pressure Drop by Toots & The Maytals on The Harder They Come soundtrack. still it was likely The Clash’s cover of Pressure Drop on their 10” compilation, Black Market Clash (1980), that really piqued my curiosity.
Toots Hibbert arguably had the greatest voice in all of reggae. it was both rugged and soulful. Robert Christgau aptly compared him to Otis Redding describing him as, “the nearest thing to Otis Redding left on the planet: he transforms "do re mi fa sol la ti do" into joyful noise” (https://www.robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=4020)
Funky Kingston is a great listen. Sailin’ On, the final tune, is playing in my AirPods as I type this. there is not a dud in the bunch. my personal faves that have made it into multiple playlists for me are: Time Tough, Funky Kingston, Country Road, Pressure Drop and Sailin’ On.
