Black, Gold and Green
was the first of three albums Ken Boothe would record together with
producer Lloyd Charmers and takes his Memphis-via-Kingston aesthetic to
the next level. Some
of the best soul singing of his career can be heard here on numbers
such as "Out of Love," "Missing You," and the gritty ballad "Second
Chance." His
singing as being in the same kind of soul groove as the late and great
Otis Redding. Ken's tradition, though, is based in the powerful
religious messages reflected in the native Jamaican religion.
Black, Gold and Green
includes some serious social-political material, and these heavy tones
permeate every note of this album. It also includes his great cover
version of Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine."
