Label: Kingston Sounds

Rock Steady Cool is another fine collection of rocksteady hits. The "Cool" subtitle could not be more relevant to an album, as around 1966, an extreme heatwave hit the Jamaican island. 

This would not stop the all-night dances from going ahead but the jerky ska rhythms proved too strenuous of an activity to partake in, so a new slower beat to suit this extreme weather had to be found and the ever-resourceful music entrepreneurs came up with the slower paced beat and rocksteady was born. 

Rocksteady was an inspirational and somewhat overlooked sound that provided some outstanding music. So, sit back and enjoy some rocksteady straight from the dances of Jamaica.
