What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone has been keeping cool out there. It’s been brutally hot/humid here in North Carolina,=; it feels like the second you step out your door you’re immediately covered in a layer of sweat. I love me some summer weather, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to some cooler temperatures this fall. Last week I wrote about a New Order record and mentioned I had been on a real 80s kick and if anyone had any listening suggestions to send em my way. Well, someone recommended this record by The Wake and it’s awesome. Thank you for sending that over, I’ve really been digging it! Anyways, for this week I wanted to talk about this Sugar Minott at Studio One record. Sometimes when I’m flipping thru my collection at home I’ll come across something I totally forgot that I even had, even if it’s something I love! Sometimes things just slip thru the cracks, but while I was thumbing through my records I was greeted by this and was thinking “shit, I haven’t played this in forever!” I picked this record up on my trip to London a couple years back and haven’t given it the proper playing time it deserves. It’s Studio One, so it’s no surprise that this record is amazing from front to back. There’s not a bad track on here, but if I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be the first song on side three, Give Me Jah Jah. It’s just such a good laid back tune, perfect to listen to while melting out in the hot summer sun. Thank you Soul Jazz Records for always putting out quality releases.
