THE MIGHTY DIAMONDS with the Yellow Wall Dub Squad
The Mighty Diamonds have long been one of the most loved reggae groups worldwide, and one listen to their sweet harmonies should be ample explanation as to why. Headed by lead singer Donald "Tabby" Shaw and backed by Fitzroy "Bunny" Simpson and Lloyd "Judge" Ferguson, the Diamonds' vocals -- and particularly Shaw's -- bespeak uncommon earnestness. Their singing is so heartfelt, it can range from heartbreaking to incendiary, depending on the subject matter. Their writing skills likewise are top-notch, balancing both rootsy and soulful melodies and social and romantic lyrics -- making them one of the more accessible roots groups for novice reggae listeners. Struggling finds the group in the second phase of their career, past the prototypical '70s roots sound and into a synthesized '80s groove that takes some time to get used to.
