Joseph Hill created one of the finest Jamaican reggae vocal
groups of all time – Culture – praised as such by artists as well-known as The
Rolling Stones, The Clash, and Bob Marley.
It’s unpardonable that until now no
biography has appeared covering the man and a recording career terminated by
his premature death in 2006. Eric Doumerc has now filled that gap with his new
book published in November 2019 tackling the social forces which inspired and
drove Hill’s music and analysing the records he chose to make.
