Horace Andy
BEST OF: AINT NO SUNSHINE
(2X12 LP)
Not Bad Records / bad2lp203
2x12 Inch LP
Many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. Horace Andy has managed not only to make a mark with *Skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter Bill Withers evergreen *Aint No Sunshine*. One of reggaes most distinctive singers, Andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. As one critic put it, *The fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.
