Wicked Ago Feel It (continued) Wicked Ago Feel It was recorded in 1984 by American reggae producer Lloyd Bullwackie Barnes at a time when the singer was riding high on the back of his hit single 'A Good Thing Going'. Featuring a balance between conscious tunes and lovers rock, real skanking instrumental interplay from a bevy of talented reggae veterans, including Jackie Mittoo (see Ska and Impact ) on piano and a soulful approach that oozes charm without the smarm this has got to be one of the greatest lover's rock albums I've heard. Sugar composed 6 of the 9 songs here and they're all gems, alternating between the righteous testifying on such numbers as Freedom Train or the infectious romanticism of She Stays On My Mind. Starting with a superb version of the Bob Marley classic So Much Trouble In The World which precedes a quite distinct (and superior to the hit) version of Good Thing Going the quality just refuses to let up through to the closing bars of the original Going Back To The Motherland, a gently hypnotic tribute to the mother continent of mankind that pulses with slow nyabinghi rhythms.You know the drill.
