Riddim Driven: Mr Brown Meets Number One is the seventeenth album in VP Records' Riddim Driven series. It was released in December 2001 on CD and LP. The album, produced by Donovan Germain, features various artists recorded over re-licks of two classic reggae riddims from Gregory Isaacs. The first six tracks are across Isaacs' "Mr. Brown" riddim, while the last 10 are over his "Number One" riddim. Both tunes were big hits for Isaacs' during the 1970s and he records updated versions of both on this compilation. The last four tracks only appear on the CD edition. They are replaced on the vinyl edition by two version tracks, one before the Isaacs & Griffiths duet and the second at the very end.

Famous quotes containing the words brown, meets and/or number:
“I had rather munch a crust of brown bread and an onion in a corner, without any more ado or ceremony, than feed upon turkey at another man’s table, where one is fain to sit mincing and chewing his meat an hour together, drink little, be always wiping his fingers and his chops, and never dare to cough nor sneeze, though he has never so much a mind to it, nor do a many things which a body may do freely by one’s self.”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
“The back meets the front.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 2650, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
“Even in ordinary speech we call a person unreasonable whose outlook is narrow, who is conscious of one thing only at a time, and who is consequently the prey of his own caprice, whilst we describe a person as reasonable whose outlook is comprehensive, who is capable of looking at more than one side of a question and of grasping a number of details as parts of a whole.”
—G. Dawes Hicks (1862–1941)
