His <I>CB 200</I> is a classic album, rich with humorous toasts and excellent re-workings of classics by Gregory Isaacs and others (with the vocals removed and Dillinger's characteristic proto-raps inserted). Nearly all his early backing is top notch -- how could it not be with Coxsone Dodd, Yabby You, Augustus Pablo and Lee Perry at the helm? His lyrics, however, have always carried his songs, whether getting a sound system pumping, making an audience laugh, or chanting serious cultural issues. With catchphrases such as "Jamaican collie make you jolly" and "cocaine in my brain," Dillinger had a string of hits in Jamaica before falling out of popular favor and, ironically, returning with an anti-drug message in the '80s. - Jessy TerryDJ Toastingen720Thu, 31 Dec 2009 06:02:42 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10542&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fdillinger%2Fplaylists.rss Like Big Youth, Dillinger gained popularity in the 1970s based on the success of a single praising Jamaica's favorite form of transportation, the Honda motorbike.
