Item Description
Dead Men Donāt Smoke Marijuana is the last album by the beloved singer / songwriter S.E Rogie. A collection of fingerpicked acoustic guitar tunes rooted in the palm wine style of Sierre Leone, Rogieās birthplace, and tinged with gospel, reggae, country and blues, it was released to acclaim in 1994 and has become an indisputable classic. No wonder: to listen to this wryly-titled recording is to soothe the soul. To be transported to a gentle, unhurried place where songs called things like āJaimgba Tutu (The Joy of Success)ā and āNyalomei Luange (Love Me My Love)ā tell life lessons in Krio and English over the sweetest of melodies, in a silky baritone sung from the heart.ā Count your blessings, sisters and brothers,ā croons Rogie on āAfrican Gospelā, his sentiments uplifted by call-and-response vocals, the chiming highlife guitar of Ghanaās Alfred Kari Bannerman and the rhythmic double bass of Danny Thompson, an Englishman whose ability to get to the heart of a piece is palpable - and whose unlikely presence is part of the workās uniqueness. Rogieās nearly fifty-year career was sprinkled with highlights. But it is this album, his swansong ā he passed away a few weeks after its release ā which endures. Ageing like a fine wine, indeed.Recorded at Real World Studios and originally released in 1994. First time on vinyl. Part of the reissue series Africa Sessions at Real World.
