This has probably been posted before (perhaps by me), but this is an absolute classic that can't be listened to too much:

 

 

This is indeed an incredible album. One of my favourites.

The closer of that Blackheart Man album is quite emotional

I’ve been playing some sly and Robbie today, this is a great album and there’s some nice Basslines on it to play 

.this too with Linval Thompson

Lovely track from the Mighty Diamonds, great vibe and terrific vocal. But...bass line. Nothing wrong with it, I just wanted some space. Anyone else?

Yeah I know what you mean, I’ve played this and it’s quite a driving Bassline behind the song, Ranchie McLean isn’t it in that video, I’ve also seen Robbie Shakespeare on some credits before , not sure if he also played on the album

I’ve been researching all my favourite reggae bass players lately and came across this good interview with Jackie Jackson, really humble guy

For me the reaggea is fine. Very relaxing music. The only thing is that i can't listen to it more than 2,5 hours. It starts to sound too the same to me, but as i said, reggea is cool.

Not sure who did this originally but nice bassy version by George Faith 

 

[taunton-hobbit]

Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett  - written by him & Steve Cropper (Booker T & MG's) 

 

Ya Ya was Lee Dorsey - nice bloke, I paid his wages one night !

Came across this band recently from Belgium , they are called the Rootsriders and do mainly Bob Marley covers , these 2 I thought were very good
