Big Youth - Jamming In The House Of Dread
Review by Tim White
Jamming In The House Of Dread is the eighth studio album by Jamaican reggae artist Big Youth, released in 1991. The album features a mix of classic reggae tracks and original compositions, all delivered with Big Youth's signature style and energy.
The album opens with the track "Jamming", a cover of the Bob Marley classic that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Big Youth's powerful vocals and the tight instrumentation make for an impressive rendition of the song.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Mammy Hot Daddy Cool", a humorous and playful tune that showcases Big Youth's ability to switch between serious and lighthearted themes. "Some Like It Dread" is another standout, with its catchy melody and powerful message about the importance of embracing one's heritage and identity.
