Biography [link]

Early days [link]

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, Hinds recorded his first single in 1967 for producer Phil Pratt.[1] "This is a Black Man's Country" failed to make an impact, and it wouldn't be until 1970 that he achieved a breakthrough. After unsuccessfully auditioning at Coxsone Dodd's Studio One as a duo along with Frank Melody, he successfully auditioned on his own a few days later.[1] Dodd decided Hinds should record as Horace Andy, partly to capitalize on the popularity of Bob Andy, and partly to avoid comparisons with his cousin, Justin Hinds, with whom his singing style at the time showed a resemblance.[1] "Got To Be Sure", the song he had auditioned with, became his first release for Studio One. The following two years saw the release of further singles such as "See a Man's Face", "Night Owl", "Fever", and "Mr. Bassie". One of Andy's most enduring songs, "Skylarking", first appeared on Dodd's Jamaica Today compilation album, but after proving a sound system success, it was released as a single, going on to top the Jamaican chart.[1] The next few years saw Andy regularly in the reggae charts with further singles for Dodd such as "Something on My Mind", "Love of a Woman", "Just Say Who", and "Every Tongue Shall Tell", as well as singles for other producers such as "Lonely Woman" (for Derrick Harriott), "Girl I Love You" (Ernest and Joseph Hoo Kim), "Love You to Want Me" and "Delilah" (Gussie Clarke), and "Get Wise", "Feel Good", and "Money Is The Root of All Evil" for Phil Pratt. Andy had a second Jamaican number one single in 1973 with "Children of Israel".[1] Andy's most successful association with a producer, however, was with Bunny Lee in the middle part of the 1970s. This era produced a series of singles now regarded as classics such as a re-recorded "Skylarking", "Just Say Who", "Don't Try To Use Me", "You Are My Angel", "Zion Gate", "I've Got to Get Away", and a new version of "Something on My Mind".[1]

In 1977, Andy moved to Hartford, Connecticut, with his first wife, Claudette, where he recorded for Everton DaSilva, including the In The Light album and its associated dub album, and singles such as "Do You Love My Music" and "Government Land".[2] Andy set up his own Rhythm label, which became an outlet for his work with DaSilva. The association with the producer was brought to an abrupt end when DaSilva was murdered in 1979.[1] Andy's 1978 album Pure Ranking had anticipated the rise of dancehall reggae, and he was a key figure in the early development of the genre, confirmed by 1982's Dance Hall Style album.[1] Andy continued to record with a variety of producers in the first half of the 1980s. In 1985, with his second wife Caroline, he relocated to Ladbroke Grove, London, and he recorded in the United Kingdom as well as regularly visiting Jamaica for further recording work.

Mainstream success with Massive Attack [link]

1990 saw Andy's profile further raised when he began collaborating with Bristol trip hop pioneers Massive Attack, going on to contribute to all five of their albums (the only artist to do so), most notably with "Angel" (a new version of "You are My Angel") released on their third album, Mezzanine and most recently on their 2010 release Heligoland, on the tracks "Splitting the Atom" and "Girl I Love You." In the mid-1990s he also worked with Mad Professor, releasing the albums Life Is For Living and Roots and Branches. He continues to record new music, with the Living in the Flood album released in 1999 on Massive Attack's Melankolic record label, and Mek It Bun in 2002. He also featured on the world music project, 1 Giant Leap, and on the Easy Star All-Stars 2006 album, Radiodread.

He is a Rastafarian. Some of his lyrics on the subject of homosexuality have been considered controversial. Andy stated that Trojan Records only agreed to release his album On Tour after removing a track containing the lyrics, "The Father never make Adam and Steve, he make Adam and Eve".[3][4][5]

    Set Me Free (Jennifer Knapp album)

    Set Me Free is a 2014 album by Jennifer Knapp, released on Righteous Babe Records. The folk rock album is the second full length released by Knapp after a public declaration that she is a lesbian and choosing to market her music outside of the Christian music industry. The album has received positive reviews.

    Production

    She initially came out in 2010 and released Letting Go. The album was created at the same time as Knapp's memoir Facing the Music and the creation of the non-profit Inside Out Faith, which seeks to bridge the gap between sexual minorities and religious communities. The album includes semi-autobiographical material about Knapp's coming out as well as her life growing up in Kansas and some of the material written on the record dates back to 2007.

    Reception

    Timothy Monger of AllMusic gave the album a 3.5 out of five stars, calling the album "rustic [and] introspective", praising the diversity of the songwriting as "a mix of dark, introspective ballads awash with country and blues tones as well a couple of flat-out barnburners".Metro Weekly writer Chris Gerard compares the music favorably to Emmylou Harris, Sarah McLachlan, and Lucinda Williams, characterizing it as "an engaging collection of melodic folk-rock".

    Horace Hogan

    Michael Bollea (born October 21, 1965) is an American professional wrestler. In wrestling, he is best known by his ring name, Horace Hogan. He is the nephew of professional wrestler Hulk Hogan and cousin of the late Mike Awesome.

    Professional wrestling career

    Independent circuit (1990-1993)

    Bollea debuted in 1990 under the ring name "Horace Boulder". Throughout the early 1990s, he wrestled for the Japanese Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling promotion. On May 7, 1992 in Tokyo, he and Sabu defeated Atushi Onita and Tarzan Goto for the FMW / WWA Tag Team Championship. They held the title until May 24, 1992, when they were defeated by Goto and Gregory Veritchev in Tokyo.

    World Wrestling Federation (1993)

    In 1993, Bollea wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation as "The Predator", making his televised debut on the January 4, 1993 episode of WWF Wrestling Challenge losing to El Matador. This was his first and only televised match in the WWF, as he continued competing exclusively at house shows. He was used primarily as a jobber, losing to stars like Jim Brunzell, Jim Powers, and Marty Jannetty. His most notable wins in the WWF were against fellow jobbers Louie Spicolli and Frankie Lancaster. He made his last appearance on August 6, a loss to El Matador in Sheffield, England, before leaving the WWF along with his uncle Hulk Hogan, who also finished his WWF run during the same tour.

    Wicked Dem a Burn

    by: Horace Andy

    No I would not give no false hope
    On this strange and mournful day
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    Oh, little darling of mine, I care for the life of me
    Remember a sadder day, that now they say let be
    Just don't recount on me in the course of a lifetime run
    Over and over again
    No I would not give no false hope
    On this strange and mournful day
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    Oh, little darling of mine, I just can't believe it's so
    Though it seems strange to say, I never been laid so low
    Such a mysterious way and the course of a lifetime runs
    Over and over again
    No I would not give no false hope
    On this strange and mournful day
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
    But the mother and child reunion
    Is only a motion away
