Обложка альбома «Another One For the Road» — Home T, Cocoa Tea & Cutty Ranks

You couldn’t find dancehall voices more polarised than Cocoa Tea and Cutty Ranks: One—Cocoa Tea—was a soothing, natural-born lovers rocker who carried the searching spirit of roots music into the dancehall era; the other—Ranks—was a human jackhammer who once toasted about having his own electric chair. Despite obvious differences, <i>Another One for the Road</i>—a supergroup affair rounded out by hook man Home T—mostly works, juxtaposing gruff Ranks-led numbers (“Original Gangster”) with soulful Tea-led ones (“No Blood for Oil”), with Home T stepping in to balance out the mood. Most notable are the experiments: “Hip Hop”, a decidedly early-’90s effort to bridge the cultural gap, and “Alien”, a New Jack Swing-type track that interpolates James Brown’s “Living in America”. A strange—but singular—meeting of three very different dancehall voices.
