briguy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Saturday, February 05, 2011 RIDDIM RIDERS ~~ CD Release!!! ~~ + Birthday songs for Bob Marley ~~ reggae, roots, dub ~~ + Dj Themes & Guests @ Casbah -- 9PM -- LIC/AA :: $8 or $15 w/CD riddimriders.com casbahlounge.ca Facebook Event Page Finally! On February 5th Riddim Riders will release their much- anticipated first CD. A lot of people have been asking for it and after numerous delays Hamilton's finest live roots reggae act is thrilled to have some smoking hot tunes available. The 8 songs were recorded at Grant Avenue Studio, plus a bit of tweaking at Orcana Recording Studios and Catherine North Studios. Mixed by Toronto's international Juno Award-winning reggae crew Dubmatix, guest appearances include ISax on sax (worked with Canadian legends Lighthouse and Downchild Blues Band, plus reggae acts Sly and Robbie, Gregory Isaacs, Ken Boothe), and Jamie "Lips" Cameron from the band Lo-Fi adds a guitar solo on the track "Only Solution", plus a few of his signature chops near the beginning of the song. The 8-song release stays true to the foundations of classic reggae and lovers rock, while at the same time adding elements that are completely modern through the innovative use of keyboard hooks, backing vocals, and creamy guitar riffs. The self-titled CD includes songs Ask Yourself, Please Don't Go, Dreamin', Do You Ever Wonder, No One, Only Solution, Rock On, and Jah Music. All songs written by Riddim Riders except Rock On which is a classic Gregory Isaacs tune. Riddim Riders are Franklin Joseph on drums & vocals, Richard Dailey on bass & vocals, Erold Dailey on keys & vocals, Brian Carson on guitar, and Mike Rajczak on lead vocals & percussion.
