Junior Byles - When Will Better Come

Junior Byles - When Will Better Come

This collection covering the years 1972-1976 gathers together titles Junior Byles cut for Lee "Scratch" Perry (side one) and Winston "Niney" Holness aka The Observer (side two).

Byles is a very inspired top vocalist, a genius unfortunately often suffering from severe mental sickness due to his experiences in his life. Listening to his music I hear / feel joy, sadness, anger, depending on the song. It's an open door, but anyway: This man is for real and so is his music.
