Description

First impressing as the resonant-voiced frontman of Poet And The Roots on the 1978 album Dread Beat An’ Blood, political activist-turned-poet-and-essayist Linton Kwesi Johnson emerged as a solo artist a year later with Forces Of Victory, his debut for Chris Blackwell’s Island label. Hailed in 2003 by David Bowie as “one of the most important reggae records of all time,” Forces Of Victory is widely regarded as a landmark record, not only in the history of British Afro-Caribbean music but also in the reggae genre generally.
