Artists – R
RANGLIN, ERNEST
Artist Info: Born 1932 he started his musical carrier in 1947 with the band of saxophone player Val Bennett. Jamaican piano player Monty Alexander among many testifies, Ernest Ranglin is one of the best guitar players of the world. In 1974 Ernest Ranglin recorded two album with Monty Alexander, produced in Germany, “Love & Sunshine” and “Rass!”. Ernest Ranglin´s guitar genius can be heared at some Skatalites´ recordings to support The Wailers at Studio One, at the first international jamaican hit, “My Boy Lollipop” by Millie and at the 1976 live set by Jimmy Cliff to mention only a few of his appearances. My kind advice for the serious music lover: Watch out for recordings with Ernest Ranglin on guitar to find Jamaican music at his best. Rarely but still active.

In Search Of The Lost Rhythm
I have the UK Palm Pictures PALM LP 2001, 1998, LP (First UK Pressing)
Up On The Downstroke, Anna, Haayo, Nuh Tree, Pili Pili, Ala Walee
Produced by Ira Coleman and Ernest Ranglin and Bart Farmie.
Recorded in Dakar, Senegal. Jazz improvisations of african rhythms. West Africa´s music is usually played by a band of many artists, sometimes five or more lead guitar players appear, what involves a tendency to confusion. Ernest Ranglin on one hand is adding his complex jazz guitar and on the other hand is keeping the sound very harmonic even hypnotic. Great. This album was recorded – amazingly – in the fifty-first year of the musical career of Ernest Ranglin!

RANKS, SHABBA
Artist Info: Just recently I discovered on some albums of him what I believe to be among the first so called chi chi man songs. These are songs meant against homosexual men and women. I listened the tracks again and his suggestion is to kill those with a bullet shot in head. I say, this is not music, but open call for murder. I trashed these records.
I am not wanting to support such. I just kept the note about this artist to share this info with you. It is up to you to recognize such vibes and do what you think is right. For details about this topic, you can check this site of a friend about murder in dancehall: http://www.soulrebels.org/dancehall.htm.

Similar to Ernest Ranglin his appearance adds a unique flavour to many roots reggae recordings during the seventies. He toured with Bob Marley in 1977. In the 80ies his work for the UK Two Tone label led to some cooperations with UK musicians like The Specials and The Special A.K.A. In the 90ies he came back to recording supported by the band Jazz Jamaica and is touring and recording until today.
