Clinton Fearon was born in 1951 and grew up in the Jamaican hills of Sainte Catherine. He left with his mother to live in the big city, Kingston, at the age of fifteen and this affable man now lives in Seattle on the Pacific coast of the United States. During this time he was guitarist, bassist and singer with the iconic group The Gladiators. He left them in 1987 to start a solo career which included world tours with his group the Boogie Brown Band and ten albums. This Morning is his eleventh album, the third for Chapter Two / Wagram, after Heart and Soul, an acoustic album, in 2012, and Goodness in 2014.

The Brazilian illustrator Willian Santiago did the artwork for the sleeve which is colourful, figurative and geometric. Here is Mister Fearon commanding nature, with his goatee, cap and sun glasses, surrounded by banana trees, a parrot and a traveller’s palm. It sums him up perfectly: a being who respects “mother earth”, yet is demanding, a man who builds sounds, a reggae man who measures time straight down the line.

Clinton Fearon lives in Seattle, next to the ocean, because he feels “a good vibe” there, a good vibration, which suits his warm, rhythmic voice – it was from North America that Clinton Fearon got his soul and folk influences. The city where Jimi Hendrix was born is “excellent for creation”, says the singer songwriter who has swapped the sultry Caribbean heat for the fine rain of the northern United States, without any soul searching, because Jamaica “has always been a complicated country”.
