{"product_id":"keith-hudson-playing-it-cool-playing-it-right","title":"Keith Hudson - Playing It Cool \u0026 Playing It Right (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeith Hudson was one of reggae's most singular and adventurous producers, and \u003cem\u003ePlaying It Cool \u0026amp; Playing It Right\u003c\/em\u003e stands as a striking example of his deeply personal vision. Recorded in New York in the early 1980s in collaboration with Lloyd \"Bullwackie\" Barnes, the album fuses dark, brooding rhythms with Hudson's raw, emotionally charged vocal style — less concerned with technical precision than with conveying pure feeling. The result is a moody, hypnotic journey through dub and roots reggae that sounds unlike anything else from the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this album so compelling is Hudson's fearless production — swirling echo, heavy bass, and an atmosphere that feels both unsettling and deeply soulful. His willingness to prioritize emotion over convention gives the record an edgy, mysterious quality that has kept it in conversation among reggae enthusiasts for decades. Now available as a 2024 reissue on Week-End Records, this is a chance to experience one of reggae's most idiosyncratic and powerful statements on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(209, 72, 65);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandling Time Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e ** Please allow an additional 4-5 business days for this item's shipment. **\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabel: Week-End Records (3)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Reggae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 05\/31\/2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemember, for our lowest prices, always order directly from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(184, 49, 47);\"\u003e Joco Records\u003c\/span\u003e!\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA1.
