Following the 2011 release of “Black Roots – The Reggae Singles Anthology” and the 2012 rerelease of “All Day All Night” deluxe version by reissue label Bristol Archive Records, Black Roots and their label Nubian Records have now teamed up with Bristol Archive's parent label Sugar Shack Records to release their brand new album “On The Ground”.

It may be more than twenty years since the original line up were together in the studio, but for their new record they've picked up where they left off and are right back in that classic Black Roots groove that will keep their existing fans happy and appeal to a whole new generation of reggae lovers, many of whom weren't born when Black Roots released their string of classic records.

The music is entertaining and upbeat, but it is still roots music. These songs have a social message that is just as relevant in the troubled world we inhabit in 2012 as the band's songs were during the ups and downs of the 1980s. 

Opening track “I Believe” makes it clear that for all the progress we've made, for many people life today is just as hard as it's ever been. Surviving the system isn't easy. Second track “Pompous Way” is also concerned with society, but this time with fixing it and reaching out to the next generation rather than labelling them as the problem. The music itself harks back to Black Roots of old and other than the mention of the digital age could easily have been recorded thirty years ago.

Another song that sounds like it could have come from the band's first incarnation is “Militancy” definitely sounding like Black Roots of old and also touching on the theme of slavery, a theme that receives further exploration in the aptly titled “Slavery” recalling the memory of the great evil that befell millions of Africans and their descendants.

There are more upbeat songs recalling a life in rural Jamaica with “Long Long Ago” or celebrating  Africa with “Oh Mama Africa.” In fact whatever the message the band are delivering they still do it with great and enjoyable music, the new members of the band more than earning their place alongside the founding fathers.

More than three decades after they formed, Black Roots are back with a brand new 17 track CD album that defies the passage of time and will appeal to all reggae fans, was released on September 10th on CD, limited edition vinyl and digital download, available from all good retailers.

For 18 years, from 1969 to 1987, Clinton Fearon was the bass player, vocalist, composer and lyricist for one of the most successful roots reggae bands of all time, The Gladiators. Add to that his parallel career as house musician for Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One and Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Black Ark Studio, two of the most famous Jamaican producers you could ever hope to meet, and you begin to see why today Clinton Fearon is such an influential and respected musician.

'Heart And Soul', his new entirely acoustic album that here includes 2 bonus tracks, bears witness to his early work with the Gladiators as the bulk of the songs were written during that time. It's not the first acoustic album he's recorded but it is the first on which he plays every single instrument. Rhythm, bass and acoustic guitars, congas, calabash, cabasa, cowbell and comb, not forgetting his 'wooden frog' and the ping of a spoon against glasses of water; all are pure, undiluted Clinton.

“My music is roots reggae from the island of Jamaica. I grew up deep in the hills, up in St. Catherine, surrounded by nature, beauty and hard work. Even as a child I knew I wanted to be a musician and began my career singing in church and at school, and eventually built my own guitar. As a teenager, my journeys took me to Kingston where I met many musicians and eventually began writing and recording music. I write from my heart. The world is full of inspiration ... nature, people, politics, love. I write about them all. My music is good for the soul - always with a message of hope and betterment for tomorrow.” Clinton Fearon
