Awesome Song of The Week! "Reggae From The Ghetto" by John Holt

Alright, I'm finally back on schedule. So you know what that means: it's time for

AWESOME SONG OF THE WEEK!!! 

This week's awesome song is the wonderfully titled "Reggae From The Ghetto" by John Holt:



Now I know some of you out there might not like reggae because you think it all sounds the same (which it doesn't), but if you listen to this song and don't like it... I'll leave it up to you to fill in this part.

John Holt is without a doubt one of the most underrated reggae singers out there. His voice is superb, and he has some other incredible reggae songs ("Ali Baba" is another personal favorite of mine, and it really deserves its own week). Most of his songs are as hooky as this one, and he has experimented with a lot of different styles of reggae as well (because there are different styles of reggae), working with lots of different producers as well as collaborating with other artists, such as U-Roy. Basically, John Holt is awesome. You can find a lot of his stuff on Trojan Records box sets, and there are a few best-ofs as well, which would be good purchases, since a lot of his songs were released as singles.

Hope you enjoyed this week's awesome song. Stay alert for some more posts about music coming up.
