'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

Wingless Angels: Oh what a Joy « Previous | |Next »
June 17, 2010

This track is from Wingless Angels 11, an album of Rastafarian spirituals, which is the group's first release in 13 years. The original album was released in 1997

It is being released by Keith Richards whose connection with the group goes back to the early 1970s when the Rolling Stones' were recording the music for their album Goat's Head Soup at Dynamic Studios in Kingston.

I Write My Name/Good Morning is from the original 1997 album. The selections are mostly traditional Christian hymns that have been retooled to Rasta ends.

The Wingless Angels aren't a group in the commercial sense, more like a collection of musical neighbors whom Keith Richards recorded one evening in his own back yard in Ocho Rios in the fall of 1995. He then spent a couple years doing light overdubs on the recording before releasing it on his own label in 1997.
