Even though the artwork puts Clint Eastwood front and center, this is a shared effort. Jah Thomas actually carries the weight of the album with six tracks, leaving Clint to handle the remaining four. The jacket is completely silent on the producers, session players, or studios involved, which adds a bit of a riddle to the whole vibe. It is worth noting that Jah Thomas has often credited Clint Eastwood as a major influence on his own style.
Clint Eastwood, who is Trinity’s younger brother, put in work for producers like Bunny Lee before he found massive success in the UK alongside General Saint on Stop That Train. Meanwhile, Jah Thomas was building his name as a deejay before eventually making the transition into a heavy-hitting producer.
The ten tracks here are a perfect snapshot of the deejay style that ruled the era. The themes stay locked on reality, roots, and the energy of the dancehall. Some of the riddims are stripped back and heavy on the sound effects, but tunes like Pyark and Serious Joke offer a more melodic backdrop. You won’t find many obvious foundation riddims here, though Jah Thomas rides the Studio One Heavy Rock for the title track. Also, Clint’s heavy, bass-heavy Fight Inflation sounds like a wicked take on the Take Five riddim. It is a curious but essential piece of the late seventies puzzle.
