ALTON ELLIS SINGS ROCK & SOUL
recently reissued in small quantities as always by portland's champions of sound Mississippi records, this soul-reggae classic from Alton Ellis (who sadly passed away last year) is probably some of his finest work. released in 1967 and recorded at studio one, "Alton Ellis Sings Rock & Soul" is a sweet and soulful departure from the more upbeat rocksteady sounds of the time. Ellis' voice is strong and forward, but just as much smoothed over in a sweet coolness. the horns arrangements are totally unique in my opinion and theres strong catchy melodies aplenty. i wasn't aware how much i was actually playing this record 'till i looked at my last.fm and found that "ain't that lovin' you", probably the most choice track here, was my number one played song over all!
