Hill on the island of Anguilla, US based musician, singer, songwriter
Jahmings Maccow has released his self-produced album "New Way", actually
the CD version of his cassette that was released in 1999 on his own label
"Liquid Cyber Records". Jahmings Maccow has branched out from Catch-a-fire
and The Enforcers bands to become more of a Rhythm & Blues Rock guitar
player and a more polished songwriter. All of the programing and most of
the instruments were played by Jahmings Maccow, who is furthermore joined
by such fine musicians like Paul Henton, Cesar Garcia, Michael Bolger,
Maria Paul and backing vocalists Carolyn Tenore and Tita Hutchison. The
thirteen to fifteen months it took to record this album have been spent
well regarding the final result. "New Way" is a well produced and polished
album on which Jahmings Maccow explores the styles of R&B, Rock and
Latin Music while still maintaining his Roots in Reggae. This makes that
the listener is treated to a well varied album, which has the potential to
reach a mainstream audience. The songs are well constructed, the backing
is tight, the vocals are crisp and clear, and the riddims are all fresh
originals. Not exactly an album for the Roots Reggae purists, but beyond
all doubt incorporating enough entertainment for music lovers with an open
ear and mind.
