Discs The Best Dressed Chicken in Town is actually a compilation, so are most Jamaican albums. Some of the tracks are Perry produced, some are self -produced, testament to Tados considerable talent.More than a match for Perry. Born for a Purpose apparently worth listening to, another Greensleeves release. Sons of Thunder, okayish a bit dissapointing if youre hankering after more Best Dressed Chicken genius. If Deejay Was Your Trade contains a hilarious and slightly alarming follow up to Who Shot the Barber, (for cutting off rastas locks!) |
Doctor Alimantado
Judging by his performances I certainly wouldnt like to entrust my health and well being with the venerable doctor. The unholy alliance of Lee " Scratch" Perry and Tado as he's known brought forth perhaps the most insane sonic experiments known to mankind in the form of "Best Dressed Chicken in Town".
The tracks were tough, the effects box was put into overdrive and the vocal delivery was teetering on the edge of insanity - Greensleeves knew they were on to a winner. I have to say the cover art may give you an inkling of what lies beneath.
Few of Tados other efforts could surpass those used in Best Dressed Chicken, same goes for many other rival deejays. Having said that, Tado did record a number of highly entertaining if irreverant toasts, some of which can be heard on Blood & Fire's excellent If Deejay was your Trade.
