Barry Brown was only 16 when he started recording with the Aliens, along Rod Taylor. He was among a trove of roots singers who emerged from Kingston's ghettos during the mid-1970s. Typical of those artistes, Brown recorded for many producers most notably Bunny Lee, Clement "Coxsone" Dodd and Rodguel "Blackbeard" Sinclair. He quickly became popular with various hit songs. 'Pass Up The Chalice' is a 12 songs album that recalls Barry Brown's recording sessions with Rodguel "Blackbeard" Sinclair. It was the golden era of reggae and songs like 'Rich Man Poor Man,' 'Bad Girl' or 'Separation' are some of the best from that time. King Tubby and Scientist were at the control, along top Jamaican musicians such as Sly & Robbie, Horsemouth and many more. Barry Brown, an asthmatic, died at the very young age of 42 in 2004. This album is the opportunity to remember or discover his early work in Kingston's studios.
