Gully bank...

Hello people,

In these times when the US and many European countries are trying to close their borders and bring new boundaries to culture, people and thinking it is time to share more and more!

And what I can share is some music :-)

So here is a new 7" ina me boxes, from early 80's (1982 to be precise).
Roots music from that era tends to be more crude than the golden 70's (less horns, more organ, heavier mixes, and eventually crude in the lyrics also).

This one is heavy in the mix and serious in the lyrics.
Devon Russell (half of the Lloyd and Devon combo) sings about these tuff times when violence was rising in the island : "you gotta be a tuff hombre to stay in town, you gotta be a tuff tuff hombre to move 'round and r'ound, You gotta be real cool if you want to keep your crown" and then warning the bad boys "ranking a burried 'pon gully bank in these times". Literally "the high end killers ("ranking") will end up in the sewer..."
The riddim is tuff also and will most certainly make you move your feet, fe sure!
So here are both sides for you to enjoy and heat a bit this winter.
Peace to you all,
Ben
