Horace Andy - Midnight Rocker - New LP
Format: New LP Label: On-U Sound Records Cat. No. ONUCLP52 Barcode: 5060263727057 Released: 08/04/2022
10 brand new recordings from the legendary Jamaican singer and longtime Massive Attack collaborator, Horace Andy, produced by Adrian Sherwood.
Midnight Rocker has been approached in a similar fashion to the late-career quality that Sherwood coaxed out of Lee 'Scratch' Perry with the Rainford and Heavy Rain albums, assembling a crack team of players and spending many months perfecting performance, arrangements and mixing. The result is a remarkable suite of tracks that sparkle with superb musicianship, carefully crafted production and Horace's beautiful vocals.
The material includes revisiting and updating a few classic Horace Andy songs such as "Mr Bassie" and "Materialist". The pair have also versioned "Safe From Harm", a much-loved early single by the group that Andy is most associated with - Massive Attack.
