Roots to the Bone was issued in 1995 by Island Records as an extended reissue of Rico Rodriguez' most important album, Man from Wareika, with some 12" sides from the late 1970s.
Rico was musically very active during that time playing in Europe as well as in Japan. He just had releases with Jazz Jamaica
and continued with his own recordings he had produced in Japan during
1994/1995. At the same time Trojan re-released his 1969 LPs, Blow Your Horn and Brixton Cat, while Island used its Reggae Refreshers series to present Rico on this album, Roots to the Bone.
The liner notes have been written by Steve Barrow
as a brief history of Rico's career that lasted for half a century just
as long as the development of Jamaican music as one "of the world's
great popular musics". He concludes: "as one of its original creators,
he has used his trombone to sing the songs of King Alpha as convincingly
as any vocalist."
Enjoy!

This is a huge file taking forever to download! Maybe you should have not included the trombone. I may give it up.
Well,hosting providers like rapidshare are reliable,but slow.Also,the better quality it is ,the bigger the file(this is 256k;it could be more).But i hope it worths the effort!
