Gladstone Henry & The Ducanes' 'Beggar Round Town' dropped this one way back in the peak of reggae's early years, specifically 1974 on the UK's DIP Records. It's a deeply soulful and classic roots cut. The vocal track, led by Henry, drips with sincerity over warm guitar licks and rolling bass. The laid-back drums are complemented by the laissez-faire vocal, which is aloof and alluring, even while conveying a note of sadness, all of which are hallmarks of that golden reggae era. On the B-side, Dub A Dub offers space and echo, letting rhythm and reverb take centre stage. Both convey the message and meditative spirit of roots reggae in its prime.
