Jimmy Tucker - Singer and Writer

In this collection of beautiful Jamaican compositions, Jimmy Tucker's lyrical voice is heard against a background of stirring instrumental arrangements performed by the Jamaica Military Band, conducted by Captain Joe Williams, and other outstanding performers of both traditional and contemporary music in Jamaica. These patriotic songs, in particular, tell a significant part of the story of Jamaica's emergence from a colonial territory into an independent nation with the British Commonwealth, on August 6th, 1962. On the whole, these songs depict the indomitable spirit of Jamaicans, the beauty of their island and the hope for the fulfilment of the vision in Jamaica's political motto: Out of Many, One People.
