Bim Sherman of Dub Syndicate ranks at the top of my list of favorite reggae vocalists.  His name should be mentioned with names like Ellis, Brown, Carlos, Castell, Mundell, Andy, and Dennis.  I would try to explain, but it’s probably best for you to listen.  Hopefully you hear something that will stick with you for a while.

I have included the Miracle album demos, which I recently received in a trade.  Towards the end of his life, Bim Sherman took a whole new musical direction. He went to India and re-recorded his classic 70s roots tunes alongside a full Indian classical orchestra in Bombay, creating his masterpiece LP, the highly acclaimed Miracle.
