Ernest Ranglin - Mr. Ranglin With Soul - Japan CD

Description:

Master guitarist Ernest Ranglin's universal masterpiece is finally reissued with a variety of pop and ballads based on the best rocksteady sound that will never bore the listeners! A rare masterpiece from the rock steady period of Jamaican guitar master Ranglin. The highlights are "Summertime," "Flamingo," and "Hold Me Tight," which is rock steady at its best. The rest of the album is in the usual Federal Records style of variety, with the up-tempo "Sling Shot" with its exotic intro, the pop arrangement of "Don't Sleep In The Subway," and a few ballads that will keep you coming back for more. It is a piece that clearly shows the intention of Jamaica's largest federal camp to create catchy content that would be popular with the general public, even after repeated listening.
