wine” (red, presumably), remains as strong
as ever - rich, melodic and instantly recognisable. With the redoubtable Astro
lending strong vocal support and Mickey’s
keyboards to the fore in a new band that
includes a three-piece horn section, their
lithe but potent sound should delight fans
old and new.
“Going into the studio with Ali again
took me back in time,” says Astro. “We
hadn’t recorded together for years. But, once
he started singing, the years just rolled away.
And, whenever I had my own ideas for a vocal part, I was encouraged to go for it. There
was never any hassle, as we’re all having
such a blast.”
“Silhouette is like a continuation of the
solo albums Ali has made since leaving the
old band,” adds Mickey. “Musically, he’s
been really consistent. Ali’s genius is the way
he can work a set of lyrics around a great
melody. Any song he sings could easily be a
UB40 tune.”
Among the album’s highlights is the title track and first single Silhouette. A 1957
hit for the American doo-wop group The
Rays, though the yearning take that appears
on the album owes more to an early 1970s
version by the crown prince of reggae, the
late Dennis Brown. “It’s a cracking tune and
the reaction when we play it live is phenomenal,” says Astro, who adds vocals to
the track. “We’ve always mixed covers and
originals. On the first UB40 album, Signing
Off, we had one song by Randy Newman (I
Think It’s Going To Rain Today) and another made famous by Billie Holiday (Strange
Fruit).”
Silhouette also includes an upbeat reggae interpretation of Any Time At All (from
The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night album), a
cover of Bob Dylan’s enigmatic 1966 single
I Want You (a number Ali remembers from
his childhood) and an inspired take on The
Chi-Lites’ Yes I’m Ready (a song originally
on the B-side of the soul standard Have You
Seen Her). Says Ali: “Have You Seen Her was
a song that meant a lot to me in the 1970s.
8 | MBT Spotlight
I used to listen to the seven-inch single on
my Dansette record player in the dark. And,
in Yes I’m Ready, there was also a great track
on the flipside – a song that nobody has really heard of.”
Two other covers that may be less familiar are Sha-La-La, once a harmony hit
for The Pioneers, and Jamaican singer Ernie Smith’s Ride On Sammy, a cautionary
tale that warns a philandering rude boy to
change his ways. There is also the lilting
lovers rock of Missing You. It was written
by Lionel Richie as a tribute to his departed
friend Marvin Gaye, it was a hit for Diana
Ross, though Ali is covering the Lee Roy
Gibbons version. “Lee Roy misinterpreted
it as a love song,” he says. “He assumed that
Lionel Richie wrote it about a woman he
was missing, but it was actually inspired by
his memories of Marvin.”
Amid such originals as the self-explanatory Reggae Music and Cyber Bully Boys,
the album contains the poignant Tomorrow
On My Shoulder, a previously unpublished
track written by Ali’s father, Scottish folk
singer Ian Campbell. “It’s a song about parenthood,” says Ali. “My dad gave it to me
when I had my first son.”
As original members of UB40, Ali,
Mickey and Astro helped to define reggae
music for a generation. The multi-racial
band, formed in 1979 in the Birmingham
suburb of Moseley, pooled a diverse set of
influences to put a fresh, indigenous slant
on Jamaican reggae. After encouragement
from Chrissie Hynde, who offered them
support slots with her chart-topping band
The Pretenders, they recorded their independently released debut album, Signing
Off, on an eight-track tape machine in the
home of producer Bob Lamb. An unexpected number two album, it gave them the conviction to chart their own course.
“Chrissie Hynde discovered us,” recalls
Ali. “We’d only done a dozen gigs when she
saw us at the Rock Garden in London. She
was top of the charts at that time, but she
took us on tour. We were on the road with
White City by BenMann
Thank you for helping us raise over $25,000 in donations and making us the
Top Fundraising Team in the Whatcom Relay for Life 2015
The Pretenders when our first single, Food
For Thought and King, reached number four
in the charts.”
“We owed a lot to the late 1970s ska
movement, too,” adds Mickey. “We shirttailed the ska movement but we also stood
apart from the 2-tone acts: their thing was
a mix of punk and ska and ours was a new
homegrown strand of reggae.”
UB40 went on to dominate charts
around the world, not least with the hugely
successful Labour Of Love series. The first
Labour Of Love album, in 1983, yielded a
cover of Neil Diamond’s Red Red Wine that
topped the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. The band secured two further chart-topping singles at home in (I Can’t Help) Falling
In Love With You (also another US number
one) and I Got You Babe, a duet between Ali
and the band’s old friend Chrissie Hynde,
and Ali and Robin Campbell also scored a
No.1 with Baby Come Back.
When Ali Campbell departed in 2008
after 29 years and a dozen major world tours
with the band, he was followed out of UB40
by Mickey Virtue. Campbell, with Mickey
lending a helping hand, has since released
two solo albums. Astro remained with the
band until November 2013, when he left to
team up again with Ali and Mickey. Now,
following some spectacular gigs at home
and abroad, the trio are facing the future
with renewed confidence and vigour.
“When we play live now, it feels like a
real group,” says Ali. “The musicians in our
band have all played with other reggae acts,
so they love what we’re doing. And the fact
that Astro is back with us after six years
speaks volumes about the music we are
making.”
“For me, it’s all about promoting reggae. At the end of the day, the fans don’t care
about what goes on behind the scenes. They
only care about the music, and I’m sure they
are going to love this record.”
