Musical Excursion - Lizzy


With enough soul to make a fish sneeze & a fly get down on his knees, Lizzy with his spar Dennis Alcapone became the first DJ Duo years before Michigan & Smiley but as Dennis went on to greater things Lizzy’s less smooth delivery didn’t quite excite the crowds and as such the tracks on this CD comprise the bulk of his recorded work if you know of others plese let me know

03 - What A Lalla
04 - Love Is A Treasure
05 - Double Attack
06 - Baba Riba Skank (with Dennis)
07 - More Heartaches
08 - Musical Excursion

Skank It My Way

If Frank Sinatra sang Jamaican Music would he have recorded this tune? no it's by I Roy Senior and one of the tracks on this latest compilation. I've no idea who I Roy senoir is probably a guy who just happened to be in the studio when this tune needed a DJ cut but isn't that just the fantastic thing about JA music that anyone can and were recorded in the whirlwind music industry.
