Heathen
"Herb haffi bun..Praising Jah and watch de wicked dem a run". OK, it might be difficult to hear the riddim, but I couldn't resist to select this little piece from Harry Chapman's Herb Haffi Bun. It's cut on the X-rated version of Marley's Heathen. This murder tune is hopefully the start of something big for youth singer Chapman. Rumours has it that Barry O'Hare has a whole album of Chapman work. Release please! If I find time I'll supply a instrumental version of Heathen soon. Meanwile, get the original from your record collection and... bwoy, instant replay!!!

If you haven't got the Heathen Chant (Runnetherlands) album it's time to get it. One of the best on riddim albums ever, especially if your into roots/concious don't miss it. A classic in my ears, and the most played CD inna mi yard during -98 this year. 22 versions of Marleys The Heathen. Roots and culture, but not the gloomy static english style. Instead you get pure vital reality songs, blistering with life and filled with emotions. Yard style.
