Tarrus Riley impresses fans with his essential version of Bob Andy’s 1969 hit “Desperate Lover.” The track was produced by Dean Fraser, the man behind Tarrus’s biggest career song “She’s Royal” and essential albums Parables (2006) and Contagious (2009).
“Bob Andy was without question one of our greatest songwriters,” says Tarrus Riley. “His songs will last forever. It’s always a joy to work with Dean Fraser in the studio, and the history stands for itself. You can hear what went into this version of ‘Desperate Lover’!” “Desperate Lover” is taken from the forthcoming release of We Remember Bob Andy, a tribute album featuring 15 artists covering the late Jamaican singer/songwriter’s catalog, scheduled for on February 10, 2023 on CD, vinyl, and all digital streaming platforms. Dean Fraser, who previously produced VP’s We Remember Gregory Isaacs, recorded 15 vocal tracks and added an additional nine instrumental versions for the full-length project.
