Live And Direct

There are a lot of Aswad's signature tunes on this album, "Not Satisfied", "Drum And Bass Line" and the passionate "African Children". The album just pounds you stronger and stronger, there is nothing weak whatsoever about this album. Aswad, originally started as a trio, a strong punch behind main man Brinsley Forde, his co singer and drummer Angus 'Drummie' Zeb and bassist Tony 'Gad' Robinson. This lineup here includes two lead guitarists, keyboards and a great traditional horn section of sax, trumpet and trombone adding power to the sensuous rhythms of Aswad. This album is a great upbeat affair, one of the best recordings of any reggae band captured on stage ever, recorded live at 'Notting Hill Carnival'.
