Joe Gibbs and The Professionals -- "Walls of Jericho"
All of these Joe Gibbs instrumentals can blur together at times -- not that they aren't all spectacularly performed and produced -- but this one definitely stands out as having a particularly attractive melody. Gibbs' drummer, Sly Dunbar, was a genius of precision. The drums are the best part of this song, and the best part of the whole State of Emergency album, but the horns and the organ are also right on target. I like to make my own playlists when it comes to reggae, to make sure that each track stands out, but this song almost always makes it on to the playlist.
Little Reggae Man as future guest columnist...? Please? Does he, too, like to make reggae playlists of his own?
