I love reggae music. I can't afford to buy it though. Not that a whole lot of reggae vinyl turns up in Denver, but even when it does, I force myself to turn a blind eye. I can't afford to buy up all the music in all the genres I love. I would be broke in no time. I did make an exception for Tenor Saw. My man Tim had the LP last time I was at the Austin record show, and I couldn't pass it up.
Beyond the ultimate classic Ring the Alarm (on the almighty Stalag riddim), I fell for Fever and Lots of Sign the very first time I heard them. Come to find out, Tenor Saw was killed in 1988. Three short years is not a lot time for creative output to make a lasting impression, but your man did just that.
I bumped into a live performance video after this post over at the TTL blog. Peep charisma:
