Nuh Skin Up : Keith Hudson

This album is known as a classic Keith Hudson take on the seventies roots dub out. There are 9 tracks on the original LP released by Joint International and 11 tracks on the newer CD release by Pressure Sounds. The Pressure Sounds CD edition includes a nice booklet that will help guide you in to the world of Hudson's music and explain his relationship with Junior Walker. The Nuh skin up CD release is from 2007. The producers are Keith Hudson and Junior Walker, who is a little heard of talent scout and producer from the seventies. Backing credits are given to The Soul Syndicate : Fully Fullwood, Santa, Robbie, Chinna, Tony Chin, and a few others. The CD release of Nuh Skin Up is a little different then the original LP with some original tracks replaced by dub tracks and the order of the tracks are shuffled around a little too. My favorite tracks on this one is #2 (Troubles) and #9 (No Commitment). Both of these tracks are fine examples of the Keith Hudson style, but he's presented a ton of work that is hard to find on CD. Check out what you can find from Hudson and hope they continue to reissue his past albums.
