This is instrumental reggae of the old school variety -- old, like, pre-1970s, back before you had to have a singer to have a hit on Kingston radio. It's reggae like the Upsetters and the Aggrovators used to make; solid, chugging, midtempo dance grooves that work equally well for niceing up the party or accompanying a long drive on a sunny day. The lack of horn players in the band means that the Rhythm Doctors have a sound that actually comes closer to the Upsetters than the Aggrovators; the organ handles most of the exposition and takes most of the solos, while the rest of the band lays the foundation and pushes things along from underneath. Special praise is due guitarist Brian Dixon, whose production evokes almost eerily the ambience of the great Kingston studios of the era -- "66-40" and "Feels Good," in particular, could pass for genuine period pieces. Highly recommended to fans of old-fashioned reggae.
