_________________________TARRUS RILEY______________________
Not even ten chariots with horses can stop this new Reggae voice on the scene… no, its not a novelty act, but one that is destined for legendary status. A ‘natural’ man of superb talent has risen like a Phoenix…some would say, its Jah will. Coming from the combination of a Nurse and a Singer, “healing music” is how he appropriately describes his music. Tarrus Riley has thrown his hat in the race, with a no-doubt approach that says, “I’m here to stay”.
The singer who gave us “Larger than Life” and “Barber Chair” on his first album Challenges on the Yaman Label, is back at it, and even better than before. His sophomore album Parables, is currently being distributed by VP records. Parables…’a simple story illustrating a moral or religious lesson’. The album is suitably titled, as each song is a lesson from the book of life. Boasting 14 original tracks out of 15, produced by the multi-faceted Dean Fraser, Parables is a respectable achievement for this young artiste.
His mother, Lavern, has been a strong supporter of his music from day one. He was originally produced by his father, Singer Jimmy Riley, on his label ‘Love & Promotion’. Tarrus also gained experience from Heavy Beat and Main Street, while teaching himself how to play the keyboard and percussion instruments…Kette, Congo and Bongo. He views his cooking similar to his music. He says every man seasons his pot different, and for him, each instrument that makes up a song, is the same as each seasoning that makes up the pot. No wonder Tarrus’ music is always a potpourri of musical progressions, melodies and not to mention the soulful voice that he has become known for.
The Title track, Parables written by Tarrus on Max Romeo’s Three Blind Mice rhythm, cautions us to ‘read between the lines’. Tarrus said its the first he has ever done a cover version of someone else’s song, John Legend’s, “Stay With You”. This song will prove to be one of the perpetual classics from Tarrus Riley. “She’s Royal” is the kind of song that creeps up on you, with an excellent arrangement. The anthemic “Lion Paw” offers a stamp of approval, with rhythm. And then Della Manley helps to bring us home to “Family”, a real groove-finder capped off by a melodious chorus. Sold!
Tarrus Riley, young, gifted and Bold!

This man is missing and (WSB Radio) DeKalb County Police are asking the public for help to find a Stone Mountain man who disappeared on Wednesday. Police Bettina Durant tells WSB Marc Stewart called his wife Wednesday night from Marietta, asked her what she wanted for dinner and hasn't been seen since. He's 38 years old. "At the time of his disappearance, he was driving a silver 2005 Ford Explorer with a Georgia license tagg of BDY 6016," said Durant. Stewart is from Jamaica and friends say he's the biggest promoter of Carribbean music shows around Atlanta. The last time he was seen, he was wearing a black turtle neck, jeans, and black shoes. While Stewart has not been seen, it appears someone has used his bank card and his cell phone. Bank of America sent him an email saying the bank had noted "irregular check card activity" three hours after he called home. His phone has also been used. Anyone with information is asked to contact the DeKalb County Police Department's Special Victims Unit at 770-724-7710. February 13, 2009
