Description: Remake of the tune Hi-lite Part I by The Aces on an Erroll Dunkley Album. Nothing but Trumpets, a Looper and some shakers n' congas. And a tapemachine.

In July 1984, Black Roots released their second album, The Front Line, on vinyl and cassette.

The title track of this album, ‘Frontline’, was the theme song for the BBC Television sitcom that ran for one series by the same name.  It is a story of 2 brothers who are constantly fighting like ‘cat and dog’ and the reason is that one is a police man and the other a dreadlocks man, both living together in the same house.  Their life styles are such opposites that they can never agree about anything.  And this clash of lifestyles is what informs the comedy that unfolds.

Unfortunately it is not deemed a success and it does not make it past that the first series of 6 episodes for a longer run.  However, it is a positive experience for Black Roots as it introduces the band to a wider audience and affords the opportunity to release and promote another album release.

Now on 15th July 2014, almost 30 years to the day since it was first released, Nubian Records, is releasing this set as part its program of uploading and making its back catalogue available for download.

In addition to the original classic tracks that originally made up this album, like ‘War’, ‘Struggling’ and ‘Blackheart Man’, Nubian have added 2 bonus tracks, ‘Chanting For Freedom’ and’ Confusion’.  Although these 2 tracks were originally released on 12” vinyl in 1981, as the follow up to the ‘Bristol Rock EP’ they never featured on any of the early albums.

Vibes

Music is a key to emotions and inspiration. It is - like every expression - a vehicle for love and freedom. I am looking to bring love with my music and to the stage whenever we perform.  I admire jamaican ska and reggae music. 
 I am playing trumpet, looping it. Dubbing stuff. Singing, jamming in the streets, in pubs and in people's flats. Looking to inspire and to make it sound good.
