The rediscovery and artistic rebirth of Claudius Linton, aka Kingman, is the reggae resurrection story of the decade. Indie rocker/producer Ian Jones (aka Jonah) met Linton, the artist behind 1976’s #1 hit "Crying Time," on a Jamaican beach and struck up the partnership that has resulted in Linton’s 2008 comeback album as Kingman & Jonah, entitled Sign Time.

Kingman, as Claudius Linton is known, recorded as a member of the Angelic Brothers and the Hofner Brothers before cutting his solo hits in the ‘70s, backed by a who's who of Jamaican reggae greats. Jonah, or Ian Jones, co-founded Evil Genius Studios in '90s indie-rock hub Arlington, Virginia, recording albums such as Tuscadero’s The Pink Album and touring with Eggs and Viva Satellite before launching Sun King Records.

Kingman & Jonah’s collaboration, despite their different musical and cultural backgrounds, is no experiment in  ...   Continue

Coal is very far from the minds of most Americans. It takes a profound tragedy, like the deaths of 12 miners at Sago Mine in January, 2006, to make us consider where our energy comes from. We hear a great deal about our dependence on foreign oil and the need for renewable energy. But few of us realize that coal-fired utilities currently produce nearly half the electricity in the U.S.  ...   Continue
