BARRY BROWN - LOVE AND PROTECTION

Originally assembled from late ’70s and early ’80s tracks, this compelling compilation highlights Barry Brown at his peak—his high-tenor voice delivering gritty street wisdom and heartfelt rhythms. It shines a lens on his lyrical versatility: from social commentary and romance to uplifting sound system culture, backed by hard-hitting roots and early dancehall production. The 2023 reissue on Radiation Roots revives these foundational Jamaican gems with warm analog fidelity and authentic rhythm-section presence  .
