The story behind 'Soul From Dubdown: Darker Than Blue' starts as early as 2001 with 'Darker Than Blue: Soul From Jamdown', a compilation on the now defunct Blood and Fire label that zoomed in on the great influence of American soul in Jamaican music, as proven by songs like Ken Boothe's 'Is It Because I'm Black?', Alton Ellis' 'It's A Shame', Delroy Wilson's 'Get Ready' or 'Baltimore' by The Tamlins, all covers of American soul classics.
