Barry Brown - Rich Man Poor Man 1978 1980
Review by Karl-Henry Martinsson
Barry Brown's album, Rich Man Poor Man 1978 1980, is a captivating reggae masterpiece that showcases the Jamaican artist's exceptional vocal talent and songwriting skills. Released in 1980, the album features ten tracks that explore various themes, including love, social injustice, and political corruption.
The album opens with the title track, "Rich Man Poor Man," a powerful social commentary on the economic disparities that exist in society. Brown's soulful vocals and poignant lyrics are complemented by the infectious rhythms of the backing band, creating a compelling and thought-provoking track.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Jah Jah Fire," a spiritual ode to Rastafarianism, and "Give Thanks and Praise," a heartfelt tribute to the power of love and gratitude. Brown's ability to infuse his music with a powerful message without sacrificing its musicality is truly impressive.
