Ras Michael's Dadawah. The singing drummer, a devout Rastafarian musician. Dadawah brought Ras Michael together with veteran studio hands - bassist Lloyd Parks, drummer Paul Williams, guitarist Willie Lindo, and pianist/organist Lloyd Charmers, who trebled as producer. The resulting album Peace & Love is a work of faith. Although not a concept album in the strict sense of the term, it thematically evokes the Biblical final days. Run Come Rally calls together the world's righteous in preparation for the upcoming battle with evil. Having gathered together the brethren from Seventy Two Nations, all bow before Jah in a celebration of His greatness, then give voice to their desire to return to Zion Land. The set concludes with Know How You Stand' a call for freedom, and with it the ability to fulfil Jah's plan. The extraordinary power of the set's themes is echoed by the equally phenomenal backings, all conjuring up the most haunting of atmospheres. Intriguingly, though, there's no reggae guitar, just Lindo's sublime riffs and licks that flick into the rock realm, while constantly sliding back into blues. Charmers' piano and organ occasionally take over the reggae guitar role, but mostly his keys intertwine around Lindo's leads, accentuating melodies, scattering elegant flourishes here and there, and subtly building up the atmospheres. Charmers' production is superb, the musicians inspired, and Ras Michael's power undeniable. An astounding album that's lost none of it's potency over the years. Peace and Love (wadadasow) is available as a numbered limited edition of 750 copies on orange coloured vinyl.
