the rootsman comes back in time. his newest production "showcase ep" feat. jamaican legend horace andy delivers us a brilliant horace andy tune on a 100% rootsman riddem. flip side presents bobby blue in a tribut to dennis brown with "blood, sweat and tears".
killer vinyl.

The first two 12Inch releases 'Driven' by FENIN (EFA 33487-6) and 'Delaware' by MONKEYTRIBE (EFA 33488-6) for the Berlin based label Meteosound are followed  by the third release of the series,  with UK dub master and Meteosound resident, JOHN BOLLETON aka THE ROOTSMAN, giving us a short preview on the 'New Testament' follow-up album, going to be released in September 2003.

THE ROOTSMAN - Showcase EP presents two great vocalists and Jamaican legends on UK future roots-dubs.  Studio One King HORACE ANDY  - world wide known for his vocal contributions for  MASSIVE ATTACK - spins his sensitive words on another great  ROOTSMAN Arab-dubstyle riddem. Both linking up in best quality, one can feel the energy by HORACE ANDY and ROOTSMAN joining this new (Testament) sound of r'n'b/hip hop influenced modern roots production. The flipside production is a DENNIS BROWN cover
called 'Blood, Sweat And Tears' by the invincible MC BOBBY BLUE. This big tune  takes a deep breath of history and soul.

ROOTSMAN - showing  a very good form through out this 12Inch - gives this tune the right platform with a warm and broken r'n'b dub riddem.
