Let my rage
Speak for all
The women in
My bloodline
Who were silenced:
We will not succumb.
Not this time.
We will overcome.

Classic LPs for vinyl returnees No.42

Poet & The Roots. Dread Beat & Blood

To some extent British reggae has always been political in one way or another, but its epitome is this album showcasing (for the first time) Linton Kwesi Johnson's poetry against a dub-inflected backing. Its not comfortable listening but as a document of how politics can make music compelling there are few better examples. Its a reminder that music has meaning! Vital stuff!

Life is not a chess game
And this is not a check, mate

Mate is checking Check
And Check is making Checkmate

Call that rock, paper, scissors
Like a three-way handshake

There are
Enough stars
In your veins
To ward off
The coming dark.
Just being alive
Is resistance.
