Singer Rad Dixon salutes some of his favorite songs by putting a reggae spin to them, on DJ Treasure Music Presents Best Reggae Lovers Rock Covers, an EP produced by Tasjay Productions.  

The mini-set has four songs. They are the previously released Write Your Name, a Kenny Rogers original, and If I Follow my Heart, a Dennis Brown classic. 

The other songs on it are Suddenly, originally done by Billy Ocean and Everything I do I do it For You, a massive hit in the 1990s for Bryan Adams. 

Suddenly features the deft riffs of veteran Toronto-based session guitarist, Osbourne “Ifield” Joseph. 

‘Best Reggae Lovers Rock Covers’ is scheduled for release on January 1. 

Dixon, who lives in South Florida, is from Manchester parish in Jamaica. That’s where he grew up listening to sound systems and a deejay named Little Bimbo, who later found fame as singer Garnet Silk whom he cites as one of his biggest influences. 

Most of Dixon’s songs are produced by Tasjay Productions, including Keep The Children Safe and Baby Don’t Worry. 

He was one of the artists featured on the Outa Jamaica Riddim Album, released last year by Tasjay Productions.
