Lloyd Chalmers With Byron Lee and The Dragonaires - Reggae Charm *Pre-Order

Release Date Friday 9th August 2024
All pre-orders will be dispatched/made ready for collection on that day.

Reggae Charmers is the 1970 album by Lloyd Charmers, born Lloyd Tyrell. His career spans some of the most fertile peri-ods of Jamaica’s musical history.

From the late-’50s era of Jamaican shuffle R&B and the subsequent ska boom, to the rocksteady and roots reggae of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s,

Charmers made valuable contributions not only as a vocalist, but as a session musician and producer, as well.

Charmers took up the piano in 1966. A few years later, he was an accomplished enough player to form a band of his own with a few friends.

The band eventually backed Ken Parker, Max Romeo, Pat Kelly, John Holt, and Slim Smith & the Uniques

(Charmers would also spend some time singing for the Uniques). Buoyed by their reputation for laying down some of the rawest and driving rhythms of the time.
