Boogie On Reggae Woman

Pat Rhoden’s reggae-inflected funk on Horse Records channels the rootsy grooves and horn-driven arrangements of 1970s Jamaica filtered through a contemporary electronic lens. The title track rides a hypnotic riddim with crisp percussion and warm basslines that recall Studio One’s golden era while maintaining the label’s modern production sensibility. Rhoden’s vocals sit easy over the groove, letting the instrumental interplay—horns, keys, and drums in tight conversation—do the heavy lifting. A singular entry in Horse’s catalog that proves reggae’s rhythmic DNA remains endlessly generative.
