Laurel Aitken - Bachelor Life
Review by Donna Grass
Bachelor Life, the album by Laurel Aitken, is a delightful collection of tracks that showcases the Jamaican singer's versatility and skill. The album features a mix of ska, reggae, and rocksteady, with Aitken's distinct vocals shining through in each track.
The opening track, "Bachelor Life," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus. "Blues Dance" and "Freedom" offer a slower, more soulful sound, while "Jamaican Rock" and "Love Me Baby" bring back the energy and get listeners moving.
Aitken's lyrics are clever and often humorous, with "Big Fat Man" and "Sally Brown" being standout examples. The instrumentation is tight and well-crafted, with horns, guitar, and drums blending together seamlessly.

About Laurel Aitken
Laurel Aitken (born April 22, 1927, Cuba - died July 17, 2005) was a Cuban-born Jamaican singer and one of the pioneers of Jamaican ska music. He moved to Jamaica with his family in 1938. In the 1950's, he became one of Jamaica's first recording artists, standing on the edge between r'n'b, boogie and ska. In 1960, Aitken moved to the UK, where he recorded a number of hit records for label before returning to Jamaica in 1963. Shortly after he returned to England permanently and continued to play with various ska bands until his death.
