Omar Perry Channelling Lee Scratch Perry

Lee Scratch Perry's son's tribute to his father released on vinyl

Burning Sounds proudly presents a brand-new album from Omar Perry. This is a must-have for reggae fans and music lovers alike!
The album, 'Channelling Lee 'Scratch' Perry', is a tribute from Scratch's son, Omar Perry, to his father. 'Scratch' was, beyond question, a genuine genius responsible for creating some of the greatest, most complex, and thought-provoking music to ever come out of Jamaica... or anywhere else. His importance to the furtherance of Jamaican music as a producer, arranger, writer, and artist is beyond compare and he played an integral role in, and was the inspiration for, many of the key movements in the development of reggae throughout the Sixties and Seventies.
Omar Perry is an accomplished performer in his own right with an impressive track record and 'Channelling Lee Scratch Perry' leaves the listener in no doubt as to where Omar and Olivier Gangloff , the producer of Scratch's final studio album 'Heaven' (Burning Sounds BSRCD/LP 840) are coming from. And every bit as importantly, they demonstrate where they are going... it's not nostalgia but an intelligent use of the past to create music for the future
