OLDIES SUNDAY: Alton Ellis – Willow Tree (1967)

Posted on by swadedavillain

After dropping Raine Seville’s “Willow Tree” yesterday, I felt it was only right to play one of the original songs. Today I feature a song by the late Alton Ellis a.k.a. the GodFather of Rocksteady. Titled “Willow Tree” and produced by Coxsone Records in 1967, this was a cover of Chuck Jackson’s “My Willow Tree” which was done in 1962 but never made it to the music charts. This song is about finding new song all while sparing the “Willow Tree” from sharing the pain of past failed relationships.

NEW MUSIC: @RaineSeville – Willow Tree

willow tree

Today’s new music comes from singer Raine Seville. Titled “Willow Tree” and produced by Locke City Music Group, this is a cover version of the late Alton Ellis’ 1967 single of the same name with a little twist. This song is about finding new love and sparing the “Willow Tree” from crying  for Raine’s past experiences. As the lyrics say once a tear has fallen, the willow tree weeps eternally but Raine  made it clear that she won’t cry over past associates and shall move on with her life. A good effort from Raine, fresh off her controversial single with Konshens, this single hears her saluting a legend and her being able to move on from situations. What you think of the song?

Like “Fine China” by Chris Brown or “Crickets” by Drop City Yacht Club? Then check out DJ Ariez’ remix to these two hits. Featuring popular songs from Tommy Lee (Mechanic), Konshens (Gal A Bubble), Aidonia (Fi Di Jockey), Vybz Kartel (Freaky Gal Pt. 2), and Mavado (Come Round), this sounds like a real fun remix made special for the ladies out there. While the problem I had was the instrumental’s volume overriding some parts of the song, those are familiar with the songs shouldn’t have much of a problem. Check out the mix below and share your thoughts in the comments section.
