Of all the "rebel singers" (reggae vocalists who primarily sang of societal ills and injustices) who came out of Jamaica in the early '70s, none was as talented or tragic a figure as Junior Byles. Early on, he'd shaped his rich baritone in school and church choirs, constantly looking to make a name for himself on the local scene. Shortly after forming a vocal group called The Versatiles (represented here by the 1973 version of the '60s song "Cutting Razor," which was later re-cut by Peter Tosh as "Stepping Razor"), Byles quickly linked up with famed producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. By 1970, Byles was flying solo and quickly racking up hits on the Jamaican charts, many fueled by his espousal of Rastafarianism.





The songs on CURLY LOCKS speak of African repatriation ("A Place Called Africa"), the quest for righteousness ("Now Generation"), and of the broken promises made by politicians ("When Will Better Come"). It also includes clever covers ("Fever") and other songs about less weighty matters ("Got the Tip," which chronicles a losing day at the racetrack). It is indeed unfortunate that the career of Junior Byles was eventually derailed by physiological problems.
