Return of Cliff Notes!

Al Campbell has been active since the late 1960s and has worked with producers such as Coxsone Dodd,
Bunny Lee, Joe Gibbs, Lee Perry, Linval Thompson & King jammy.  He is a master of all reggae styles from Roots to Lovers to Dancehall, and was one of the most talented singers of his generation and hits such as late Night Blues, Gee Baby, Bad Boy and Turn Me Loose are a must for any partya if you want to get people up and dancing. There's excellent Jamaican singers who put out an impressive body of work but still didn't quite make it.  I would count Al Campbell to be one of those in that 'category'.  He never failed to impress with a steady stream of consistency in his catalogue of music, but something held him back over the years from getting the breakthrough of wider recognition he so rightly deserved.  What the reason for that is, is nothing but a mystery.  Of the 5 albums posted here for me Late Night Blues is the best and shows Campbell at the top of his game.
