Evoking the free-flowing spirit of Joni Mitchell’s Hejira and Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew

The tracklist reads like a love letter to versatility: from the peppy "Taking a Chance on Love" to the dreamy "Moonlight in Vermont

Africa's Blood FLO0007LP with Stephen Cook stating thatUpon release in 1971, Africas Blood was the first record Lee Scratch Perry released under his own name, although his band The Upsetters do appear on most of the tracks. If any album serves as a good peak into what was happening in Jamaican music in the early 70s, Africas Blood is the way to go. Theres an undeniable influence from American contemporary R&B, but still Perrys signature dub and reggae fusion shines through.
