Clint Eastwood / Thomas,Jah * Love And Happiness [New CD]

A classic late-70s deejay set from one of Jamaica's most commanding mic talents, Clint Eastwood emerged from the shadow of his brother Trinity to establish himself as a heavyweight voice of the era. Named in tribute to the cinematic "Man With No Name," Eastwood forged a distinctive, confident style that helped define reggae's golden age. Originally released in 1979 as one of the first titles on the Burning Sounds' Burning Vibrations imprint, Love And Happiness captures a pivotal moment when roots reggae was evolving into the early dancehall sound. Featuring four prime Clint Eastwood cuts alongside key tracks from a young Jah Thomas - who cites Eastwood as a major influence - the album stands as a vital document of late-70s Jamaican deejay culture. Essential listening for collectors of classic reggae and foundational dancehall.
