Store Categories HOPETON LEWIS Take It Easy / LP NEW VINYL / Dub Store 2012

He has since turned to spreading his unabashed love of the Lord through increasingly gospel-tinged music, but in 1966 all Hopeton Lewis wanted to do was take that shit straight ease, brah. Lots of crazy things were happening in Jamaica in the 60s — musical and otherwise — but Lewis’ illusory lyrical minimalism implored its people to rise above it all.

“Take it Easy” is barebones by definition: one guitar, drums, vocals. This is proto-reggae at its very finest — dub be damned. Where enterprising island DJs would later rip a track apart and stone it out of its gourd with bass and slapback, Lewis’ studio itinerary involved little else besides the very essence of the thing. He was, and still is, driven by the spirit of song.
