After debuting at No. 1 last week, Linton Kwesi Johnson’s album Dread Beat An’ Blood falls to No. 2 with 323,000, a sales slide of 65%. This disc has all of the essential Linton Kwesi Johnson classics. Now signed to Linton Kwesi Johnson’s Columbia Records, the title track from second album “Dread Beat An’ Blood” leads Linton Kwesi Johnson’s back-to-school campaign. Linton Kwesi Johnson “Dread Beat An’ Blood” is an amazing album.
Five Nights of Bleeding is the most memorable and gorgeous. Doun de Road as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. I like the agression and power of Song of Blood. It Dread Inna Inglan is astounding and different song. Come Wi Goh Dung Deh is one of the most beautiful songs ever to grace my stereo. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create.
