Ernie Ranglin’s ever so suave take on “My Boy Lollipop,” featuring Alana Davis

Ernie Ranglin – “My Boy Lollipop feat Alana Davis”

Here’s a gr8 swingin’ track from the king of Jamaican jazz guitar, the one and only Ernest Ranglin, ladies and gentlemen. Kick back and enjoy the ultra cool reggae jazz of this master player with his top flight band, and their lovely rendition of “My Boy Lollipop.” When Millie Small’s version of this song was released in 1964, it became the first worldwide ska hit record, throwing open the doors to overseas markets for all the great Jamaican music that would follow. It is no surprise then that the song is often covered by Jamaican artists, and ska bands everywhere, and many fine versions have been recorded. This one, featuring the shimmering vocals of the lovely and talented young Alana Davis, has quickly become one of my favorites.

Tyrone Taylor gets a Hangover

Tyrone Taylor – “Funny Hangover”

Ah, the old drink you off my mind theory. Never works. Leads to plenty of unfortunate late night phone calls and the occasional good song though! This is from modern reggae great Tyrone Taylor’s posthumous record of unreleased material.Vocally he sounds a lot like the great Peter Tosh, but more pop actually.
