LINVAL THOMPSON ' Inna De yard ' 

«Inna de Yard» is a new label, a collection supported by Makasound. Inna de Yard presents the songs the way they were created, in the yards and backyards of Jamaica. With a lead voice and a guitar... sometimes accompanied by Nyahbinghi drums or background vocals, depending on the vibes. Linval has recorded almost nothing in two decades. Apart from a few occasional studio sessions in recent years with his neighbour, famous producer Fattis Burrel (aka Exterminator), who was intent on completing his new album, and maybe some other pieces that were never released, Linval wasn't recording anymore. That is until he accepted to stand behind Inna de Yard's mike. For this unique singer, adept of «strictly Rub-a-Dub (Rock it!)» and drum-and-bass frameworks, an acoustic session without a true bass was both a challenge and a new experience. On his Inna de Yard acoustic session, Linval - in addition to «Good Gracious Woman» - takes on some classics such as «Jah Jah Dreader Than Dread», «Train To Zion» or the very rare «Inna de Hills», and others that he slightly adapts, like the «Jah Guiding Star» version. He also seized the opportunity to compose new pieces like «Mercy Mercy Mercy» or «Hit Them With The One Drop». And this is truly a news.
