Uchiumi, Toshikatsu -meet The Cimarons-

Gemini Part. 1

UK reggae band the Cimarons backed many visiting Jamaican artists in the 1970s, including the Wailers and Jimmy Cliff, and recorded as session players for British producers. A tour of Japan with the Pioneers in 1975 led to this unprecedented collaboration with guitarist/vocalist Toshikatsu Uchiumi of rock band the Carol for a curious mix of reggae, rock and blues, with Uchiumi singing in Japanese on most tracks and adding lead guitar licks in places. Produced by Sidney Crooks, Cimarons fans need this one-off wonder to fully appreciate their innovation and the album will also appeal to fans of mid-70s Japanese rock. A great listen!
