 |  setlists  | podcasts October 24, 2008: Heptones part 2One of the interesting things about the Heptones is how their body of work allows you to see the effect of various producers on a single group. The fact that they created so many excellent songs is a testament to their abilities, despite the changing producers and musicians. For part two of this Heptones series, we start off with the crucial Rupie Edwards produced track "Love Without Feeling" followed up by the Studio One track "Why Did You Leave" and some alternative versions by Keith Hudson. After this, we get into a track on the General / Love Me Girl riddim with a run of tunes coming out of the Joe Gibbs camp that lead into another Gibbs' tune "Be The One". Lee Perry gets his shine next with some of the tunes they did together including "Mr. President", "Make Up Your Mind", "Why Must I", "serious Time" and "Mystery Babylon". Following this we get into a few more Studio One tunes like "Give Give Love", "Purple Lights" and "You've Turned Away". After this, we break into one of the biggest Heptones tracks, "My Guiding Star" with versions produced by Coxsone Dodd, Clive Chin, and Bunny Lee. For the rest of the show, we run some riddims like "I've Got The Handle", "I've Got A Feeling", the classic "Fattie Fattie" and the Dylan tune "I Shall Be Released" wrapping up with "Pure Sorrow."  | |
