This new Lee Perry compilation focuses on Scratch's love for spaghetti westerns, a genre reigning supreme in the Kingston of the late 1960s and early 1970s. At the time many screenings were preceded by a live performance by one or the other reggae band. Songs like title track 'High Plains Drifter' (named after the 1973 western by and with Clint Eastwood) and 'The Man With No Name' (after the character that Clint Eastwood played in films like 'A Fistul Of Dollars' and 'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly') are literal examples, but musically songs like 'Fall Blows In' and 'Amigo' clearly also refer to that period. Not much later, when the films starring Bruce Lee became popular, Perry started to refer to the Kung Fu genre instead. American rhythm & blues and soul from that era also had a big influence on Perry's productions from that period: a song like 'It's Growing' by Busty Brown & The Upsetters could just as well have come from Sam Cooke and Dave Barker's voice in 'Sitting And Waiting' resembles that of a young Marvin Gaye. 'High Plains Drifter' also illustrates that recording a song for Lee Perry was in no way a guarantee for a successful career as many of the names on this compilation will hardly ring a bell.
