Perry, Lee
Revelation (2lp)
'Revelation' is the 2010 album by dub pioneer Lee "Scratch" Perry (born Rainford Hugh Perry). From his Jamaican based Black Ark Studio, he created some pivotal works by producing new instrumental or vocal versions of existing tracks. Later, he moved to Switzerland, where he reinvented himself as a performance and visual artist and collaborated with artists such as The Beastie Boys, The Clash, and Adrian Sherwood among others. For his album 'Revelation,' he collaborated with Keith Richards and George Clinton. The album is the last in a series of three albums he made with English musician and producer Steve Marshall a.k.a. John Saxon. The album is accompanied by the full-length film 'The Revelation of Lee "Scratch" Perry,' which looks behind the scenes of the recording sessions and features an in-depth interview with the great man.
