    Just mention the song “Armageddon Time” to a reggae fan and most likely he/she will come up with the name Willi Williams. Recorded with the Sound Dimension at the legendary Studio One across the original instrumental “Real Rock”, this roots scorcher has become one of reggae’s signature tunes and thus firmly established Willi Williams’ name on the reggae map. Furthermore it also brought him to a wider audience as it was successfully covered by London’s premier punk band The Clash in the early ’80s. Two years earlier Willi Williams had delivered his outstanding debut album “Messenger Man” on the Jah Muzik label. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, the singer continued to make records and although some of them were extremely good – like for example the Jah Shaka produced set “Natty With A Cause” – he wasn’t able to outmatch or even match the success of his Studio One classic. LONG-AWAITED Willi Williams’ reflective, gentle vocal style, which owes as much to soul and jazz styles as to roots, is fully displayed on this subtle new album. It is that unique singing that strongly appeals to all roots reggae fans. And, whenever Roberto Sánchez and the Lone Ark Riddim Force are involved in a project, it’s a real pleasure to hear reggae music that recalls very fond memories of a time when it was a deeply inspired and startlingly original form. Willi Williams long-awaited “Glory To The King”, with its six vocal cuts and six instrumentals with a lead musician coming to the fore, is no exception.
