Reissue of ska legend Rico Rodriguez.
Description
Rico started his career in the late 1950s playing with the likes of Prince Buster Laurel Aitken and Max Romeo as a session musician in addition to creating his own recordings. He moved to the UK in the early 60s and continued performing live and playing as a session musician. He signed to Island Records in the 70s releasing his first solo albums.
In 1979 Rico met Jerry Dammers and began playing with The Specials. He became an honorary member of the band and featured prominently on some of their most famous tracks along with Dick Cuthell which produced a distinctive sound. In 1980 he released his first album for the 2 Tone label That Man is Forward. Produced by Dick Cuthell and recorded in Jamaica over two sessions in Joe Gibbs studio.
The album is a celebration of Jamaican musicians playing together with the likes of Jah Jerry Deadley Headley Bennet Robbie Lyn Sly & Robbie Ansel Collins -the list goes on.

Drift Recommends
Alongside a weekly playlist of new and old tracks (tune in via the news section), all of the Drift staff also contribute to a weekly 'Drift Recommends' playlist.
Updated every Friday, it's full of new tracks that we love, absolute bangers that have popped back into our heads and all sorts of other weird avenues. It is supposed to sound a little bit like that feeling of walking through the door at Drift.
