Reggae album offers music to dance to
By Adam Koch Special to the Kansan
With the relatively new collaboration of Brent Berry and The Secondhands, the Lawrence music scene now includes reggae.
The group released its first CD, Inland, on the Kick Save label Feb. 6. Just less than 1,000 copies of Inland have been sold to date.
The album begins with the song, "The Blessing," which establishes the spirituality of the CD as the lyrics, "holy mount Zion," are chanted repeatedly. The album then speeds up into smooth and danceable songs such as, "Don't Tell 'Em," and faster dancing melodies, such as "Hold On." Berry, a 25-year-old hand drum and guitar player from Kansas City, describes his musical sound as, "loving, positive music that you can dance to."
Members of Berry's back-up band, The Secondhands, have played music together since 1996. Tom Johnson, one of the two original members of the
band, also helped produce Inland.
Berry returned to Lawrence as a solo act but met with The Secondhands and agreed to play some of his songs with the band. The two musical forces meshed to form the rock-steady sound on the album.
More information about the band and a sample of its music can be accessed at www.brent-berrymusic.com, or at www.thesecondhands.com. Also, at www.mp3.com, a sample of the band's music can be heard, including live tracks and a live KJHK dub.
Brent Berry and the Secondhands started a tour of the Southwest Thursday in Colorado Springs, Colo. After the tour, Berry and The Secondhands will open for Toots And The Maytals Wednesday, July 18 at the Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
The group will play from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Aug.21, in front of Wescoe Hall during Hawk Week.
