Gappy Ranks – Put The Stereo On(Album)

Just heard about this guy Gappy Ranks musical talent the other day. I heard he combined that old reggae feel and vibe with modern creations and immediately I was intrigued to take a listen. So, I bought his new album Put The Stereo On, had a listen and I swear from track #1 to the end #12 I was utterly impressed. I for one LOOVE old school reggae music. From the beats to the flow of the songs had me hooked. Only thing I couldn't get pass was him using that damn autotune in some songs instead of using his true voice(which sounds pretty good if you ask me). All in all, the album is a must listen for all the people who love reggae just as much as I do.

It is more of a well written tribute to reggae music over the years – so in that sense the album art really works well. It has a real Studio One, or blues feel to it – even down to the detail; if you look closely you can see it has been designed to look like one of the old paper album sleeves that contains a big slab of vinyl that has worn through, and has become imprinted on the outer cover.
