FYAH GEORGE'S NEW TUNE IS AN ODE TO MOTHER MOON


 

FYAH GEORGE is a long time Indie Artist whom Shyrick has promoted right from our beginnings. He offers a brand new track  called MOTHER MOON which was produced by Trowers Zamar Records. MOTHER MOON is a folksy roots flavored ditty  you are going to love in your playlists. Go ahead family and hit that >> GO BUTTON<<  and sample for yourself:




Igniting stages for over a quarter-century, Fyah George is a musical luminary whose journey is a testament to the transformative power of reggae. Born George Bailey in Kingston, Jamaica, his musical destiny was kindled early. As a youth at Swallowfield Primary, he found his voice by performing the songs of the legends who inspired him, including Dennis Brown, Bob Marley, and Freddy McGregor.

 



 

George's artistic evolution is etched in the names he's embraced. Originally inspired by the legendary American artist Stevie Wonder, he first took on the moniker George Wonder. He later became George Cool-X before finally finding his true identity. The name "Fyah", a spark from his contemporary Luciano, melded with his own to create Fyah George, a name that now resonates with the fiery passion and energy of his music.





BOOK CLUB PICKS: 100 Classic Reggae Albums 1968 -1973


Every album featured includes a full colour album sleeve (front and back), vinyl label scan and a complete track listing with selected review of 100 reggae albums released from 1968 through to 1973. 






A great companion for the music now being re-released in digital form. The book is a veritable treasure chest of reggae albums released during the embryonic early years of reggae, with the connoisseurs of Jamaican music often citing the period as the golden age of reggae or the Boss Reggae years. What is in no doubt there were numerous quality albums released by Trojan, Pama and Island, over sixty by Trojan alone in 1970, with many having remained overlooked for over half a century. 





The majority of the albums at the time would have been out of reach as very few could afford to purchase half a dozen albums a month, despite the budget cost of around 14/6. There is no set criteria as to what defines a classic album, especially with reggae. 



TAP ON IMAGE TO GO THERE


All the artists have their own unique identity, be it the unmistakable trade-mark falsetto voice of Eric Donaldson, the distinctive style of Toots And The Maytals fronted by Toots characteristic vocals or The Pioneers, greatly influenced by the legendary producer Leslie Kong. 100 Classic Reggae Albums is a celebration of some of the finest recording to come out of Jamaica and a snap-shot on the evolving years of reggae from 1968 -1973.
