In a nutshell: Linton Kwesi Johnson producer, lovers rock pioneer and all-round UK reggae legend Dennis Bovell walks into Brixton’s Blackerdreads and hears a voice unlike anything he’s heard in years. Bobby Kray is the album’s eponymous skinny white boy, and his piercing falsetto will melt stonier hearts than Dennis’. This album steers the listener through his take on reggae classics, adds a few new ones and even brings Eek A Mouse out of retirement.

Imagine if you will: Horace Andy growing up in the Home Counties.
