Ellis, Alton and Hortense I’m Still in Love with You Reviewed by Sadie O., 10/5/06 Late 60’s/early 70’s ska/rock steady by formidable brother and sister vocalist, produced by Coxsone Dodd at Studio One. Fairly minimalist music with a classic early sound. Alton has a sweet, romantic tenor and Hortense has a nice clear alto voice. Although Alton remains a well-known rock steady star, it’s nice to see Hortense getting some recognition. Nice one from the vaults, but not a big revelation. FCC squeaky clean. Best track is 4 because it’s an extended mix. 1. **midtempo rock steady with big vocal harmonies. Has that great primitive 60’s production, and Ellis’ soaring tenor. 2. *Uptempo piano-heavy rock steady. She’s quite a good singer with a clear alto voice. 3. *Midtempo, borderline ska/rock steady cover of a minor 60’s American pop hit. Heavy on the farfisa, but quite pleasant. 4. **Slightly uptempo bounce with catchy chorus. Freddy MacGregor later had a hit with this tune. 5. *Slightly uptempo ska/rock steady. Brother/sister duet. 6. ***midtempo rock steady, classic guitar and piano sound. Extended dub mix – yay! 7. **rather downtempo rock steady with lots of horns. This C&W tune was a bigger hit for Lorna and for Scotty and Lorna. 8. **Midtempo, restrained music but fun vocals from both Alton and the chorus. 9. *Uptempo, spirited horns and minimal bass, unusual sound. Very Dusty Springfield sort of pop vibe. 10. *Downbeat rock steady with the usual fine harmonies. 11. **somewhat uptempo ska, soulful vocals from Hortense. 12. *somewhat uptempo ska/rock steady with falsetto vocals. 13. *rather downtempo rock steady with overly deep lyrics, but sweet vocals and simple piano line. 14. **really nice, sincere spiritual number. Midtempo rock steady. 15. *midtempo rock steady, another Dusty Springfield pop kinda sound. 16. *midtempo, odd little love song with rather quirky vocals. 17. slow sad song, spoken intro, organ-heavy music. Too weepy! 18. *another odd one – sad spiritual song with rather bouncy music. | ||
