SINGER HORACE MARTIN RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM “SOUND CLASH SHOWCASE!”

Veteran artist Horace Martin returns with a new album called Sound Clash. The producer is also a veteran in the person of Trevor Elliott, on whose Musical Ambassador label this project is released. Musical Ambassador is known for releasing seminal material by Edi Fitzroy and the late Johnny Ringo among others during the first half of the 80’s. In fact, this album is largely built around classic riddims primarily played by Roots Radics from Fitzroy’s epic “Check For You Once” album. Some of the riddims are laced with overdubs and fresh horn arrangements to add some contemporary flavor. Additionally, this project is in the classic showcase format where each vocal cut is followed by its dub counterpart. The album gets going with “So Called Pastors” over the “Work On Mr. Farmer … Read entire article »
