"Underneath It All", "Bossman", that "Wasn't Me" answer-record ("Son Of A Bitch"?), "Mr DJ", "Life Without Dick" & that x5 riddim track ("Bad Girl"?) have been pretty amazing. probably mindblowing if I actually listened to them ALL AT ONCE or something.
so, uh, anyone heard raw : the best of lady saw? worth importing etc? hasn't she got the best voice evah?

& did she ever turn up on any ukgarage/etc tracks, or am I misremembering crissy d et al?

(& uh, tangentially etc, if anyone wants to talk about non-greensleeves riddim albums, go ahead)

She's definately been used on jungle tracks. Search: Short Dick man.

Lady Saw UK garage:

M-Dubs feat Lady Saw - "Bump N Grind"
Lady Saw vs. B-15 Project - "Freak Break" (original flipside of "Girls Like Us")

plus Ms Dynamite, Stush and Fevah seem to build off her sound (though maybe not her content)

buss back skettel on the hard drive rhythm, with her and cecile tag-teaming in my fave dancehall track in ages... i'm a sucker for gal deejays anyway and lady saw's kinda scary, raspy and loud, whereas cecile's just cute and has a voice like honey so they're just about the perfect team...

Is there an alternate version of that track? My copy has Cecile & Tanya Stephens.

i am a dozy fool of a boy and it's in writing as well... aaarrrrggghhh! looking at my album, it is it is tanya stephens, not that i doubted you... lady saw has another track on there with really heavy filters all over it that i usually play before buss back skettel, linking them both in my mind... her cut is good, too and they would make a fab team... i'll just shut up now!

CORIANDER BLOOD-STAIN RED WINE, YO!

(I love "Mr. DJ" a lot)

I always thought it was a shame that Lady Saw didn't do more garage tracks - "Freak Break" in particular is marvellous (gunshots!)

search: "'Ottie 'Ottie Girls", made in colaboration with famous Swedish toaster Papa Dee. I know this is a bold claim, but I think I am justified in thinking that this is the best slice of Dancehall ever to hail from Scandinavia.
