Must Have New Dennis Brown & DJ’s Album Out Now

Den­nis Brown & The DJ’s — The Joe Gibbs 12″ Selec­tions is the sec­ond half of this spe­cial dou­ble album col­lec­tion of 12″ selec­tions. Kick­ing of with “Equal Rights”, Den­nis Brown and Big Youth go toe to toe in extended fash­ion. “Run­ning Up And Down” is a dri­ving dub­wise roots rid­dim fea­tur­ing first Den­nis Brown’s vocal stylings before Big Youth returns to run away with the rid­dim. Love is in the air on “How Could I Leave”, sig­na­ture D. Brown with Prince Mohammed adding dee­jay power to the lover’s argu­ment. “Girl I’ve Got A Date” has Den­nis Brown repris­ing the Alton Ellis clas­sic on a song made even more spe­cial by the dee­jay Trin­ity get­ting play­ful on the ‘part 2′. And the all time fan favorite, “Money In My Pocket” is made all the more valu­able by Prince Mohammed com­ing in on the 12″ selec­tion only found here on Den­nis Brown & The DJ’s — The Joe Gibbs 12″ Selec­tions. “Man Next Door” has the Crown Prince of Reg­gae lead­ing the lis­tener over a blues-influenced rid­dim before the door is opened for Wel­ton Irie to talk the talk and walk the walk. The lover’s reg­gae anthem, “Your Love’s Got A Hold On Me”, sees Den­nis Brown tear­ing up the heavy bass line and sharp horn riffs before con­clud­ing the album with “I Can’t Stand It”, another thump­ing bass-driven rid­dim for the immor­tal Crown Prince of Reg­gae and Lit­tle U Brown to spar on. With 11 artists over 11 tracks rep­re­sent­ing more than 60 min­utes of music, Den­nis Brown & The DJ’s — The Joe Gibbs 12″ Selec­tions is a com­pre­hen­sive album and a must have for reg­gae and world music fans everywhere.
