    Freddie McKay In Times Of Trouble

    • 1. Freddie McKay – In Times Of Trouble
    • 2. Ossie, Sly & Robbie – Trouble Dub

    Killer tune from the always great combination of two late giants of 70s roots music, Ossie Hibbert as producer and Freddie McKay as vocalist. Originally released on a Live & Love 12-inch in the UK (which also features a deejay piece from Trinity), this was probably cut around the same time as the "Creation" LP that Freddie did for Ossie. Great late '70s roots music.
