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.
