Crime Free Christmas Project 2016 was a Jamaican musical anti-violence initiative spearheaded by industry guitarist and producer Lamont 'Monty' Savory. 

With the use of acoustic guitar instead of electric this release got some fine shots on it, fresh and spontaneous. Each track was accompanied with a video. The campaign was said to be a huge success.

 

Dobby Dobson & Ringo - Sweet Christmas

 

Top Ranking International LP 1978

 

Hi Kingstonians, though a bit on the early side today we have here this cozy Christmas album (@320 kbps) from 43 years ago. Special thanks goes out to backing band Fatman Riddim Section and engineer Paul Khouri, who tirelessly spent hours in the Miami Sound Studios to create and record the festive spirit in Dobby's rendition of these contemporary Christmas carols for all reggae lovers to enjoy during the Holiday season.

 

With the addition of deejay Ringo to ride some wild version an acceptable playing time of about 33 minutes was reached and immediately after pressing the album got launched at the Jamaican market; the big and cozy market that is right behind the train station in Kingston town. It sold like hot bread and further established Dobby Dobson's reputation of being a truly unique and elegant styled singer.

Father Richard Ho Lung & Friends ‎- Sister Song

Jesuit Music LP 1974

Recorded at Randy's and Joe Gibbs

Merry Christmas to the followers and visitors of Kingston Roots, a bit late though. My favorite Christmas song of this year is "Christmas Life", which is track number 2 on this album. It is very pure, profound and melodic. "Christ is born through our lives" is the theme of the song. Four other great tracks on the album and the rest is rather outdated, but that is only my personal opinion.

Carlene Davis - Christmas Reggae Rock

VP CD 1988

Another great album for the Christmas collection! Musicians here are Sly & Robbie & "Friends", which are among others Robbie Lyn (keys), Mikey Chung (guitar) and Larry McDonald (percussion).
