my roots are pure dub - admini/Billy I like your style - you can't beat Burning Spear.

If anyone can find Megaton Dub Vol II by Lee Perry I'll kiss you (virtually, of course - no virtual tongues, though...)

or any of the Sensi Dub volumes (Jah Shaka's KICKS ASS - you can't listen to any track without blazing up!)

I hear what you are saying, sometimes I hear a lot of b-lines in his work which I know he wasn't responsible for...but this one album [Megaton Dub vol II] is nothing short of sublime. roots all the way!

All the tracks (well, except 1 or 2) are remixes but the first two (Travelling, Debra Keese ; Fisherman, Congos) make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Watchout for Lord Sassafras' vocals (and lyrics) on Greenbay Incident. I've never heard anyone sing anything better than that - ever! Even better than his "Dreadlocks in Moonlight", which EVERYBODY knows and loves!)

Lee Perry is mad as a hatter (or roasted as a toaster, as I think he may put it...) but he has an ear for a catchy tune! He isn't my favourite dubster by a long way but one or two of those albums are out there...

You into King Tubby? Needlessly murdered by a lowly thief outside his own home in Jamaica. Fucked up.
I LOVE his stuff. Original music, bring tears to my ears!

Beres Hammond was a little more into ballads than pure dub. It's good stuff. I believe he was assaulted by thieves at his home in Jamaica as well....

If you're into the Wailers (and who isn't?) I may as well mention that Pete Tosh was shotgunned to death by thieves in Jamaica...and Junior Braithwaite was murdered (probably by thieves) in Jamaica...


How much music did we lose to thieves in Jamaica?

I hear what you say bout lee perry, FX
and I dont know the whole story of what went on in the 70's,
I may be wrong here (i'm sure you will correct me if so) but weren't most Jamaican artist paid for their time in the studio, and not profit on sales of music? this often left the music and recordings, the property of the studio owner/producer, giving electrical engineers such as king tubby (dub originator) access to 8 track recordings, and learning to manipulate the original recording?
lee scratch perry, owned a recording studio etc. etc. sure you can see where this is going!!
Lee Perry was and still is absolute GENIUS, and early wailer's from when they worked with perry, is by many (me also) considered to be some of their finest work.
Peace and big Love

from a fine album
what scratch will do for cash
 
Yup!

Bob and the Wailers was one of the first albums that connected me with the struggle. Fast forward with this old dude to Tupac that brought it home to America for me.

Old dogs learning. Imagine that. Sorry about about changing the tune, but still relevant.

Thanks for listening.

You all clicked on the 18 years or over banner on the way in, didn't you?

Post what you want!

(although why would you post porn? - Youporn.com is where all that is at...)

Van Morrison...It stoned me,
Sounds autobiographical to me;)
Regardless on the beach of an evening well stoned it sounds just right,

Anyway
 
It's In Their Blood

Bob Marley Was A " Nice Guy " ; ( Well He Was Half Welsh :D )
Other Welsh Blooded " God's " Include John Lennon , Keith Richards,Robert Plant, Donovan And Even Elvis Presley ;)
Bob Zimmerman Changed His Name To Bob Dylan After His Love Of Dylan Thomas
The Welsh Poet.
I Remember Seeing The Manic Street Preachers Play A Gig In Vancouver In The Early 90's In A Record Shop Called Richards On Richards ( There Were Less Than A 100 People There ).
The Stereophonics And The MNP Are Awesome Bands , And I Think The Stereophonics Version Of Handbags And Gladrags Is So Much Better Than Rod Stewarts .
Van Morrison Is Also One Of My Faves ; I Saw Him Three Years Ago When He Played An Outdoor Concert At Lord Newboroughs Estate Near Bangor
It Was The Last Concert I've Been To
