Jacob Miller & Ray I - Natty Christmas (2020 Remastered) (feat. Inner Circle)
DubShot Records / Sound Bwoy Entertainment
Recorded at Channel One studio in Kingston, Jamaica, Natty Christmas contains 11 songs, including reggae-fied takes on Christmas standards such as Wish You A Merry Christmas and Silver Bells. There is also Natty No Santa Claus, All I Want For Ismas, and On The Twelve Day of Ismas.
Bernard “Touter” Harvey, Inner Circle's keyboardist, said he and his bandmates were just looking to have some fun.
He remembers Miller making it even easier to record.
“The sessions had a great vibe; Jacob was his usual self, making or should I say changing the lyrics as we go along,” he recalled. “At the time it was another first for us, as it was the only Christmas album with a reggae beat.”
Brothers Roger and Ian Lewis, who founded Inner Circle in 1968, played guitar and bass, respectively, on Natty Christmas. Guitarist Mikey Chung and bassist Robbie Shakespeare of Sly and Robbie fame, also played on the groundbreaking set.
