Of all the people I’ve seen I don’t think I’ve seen steel Pulse before, I was at reggae sunsplash in 84 but don’t remember them being there, very good band, it should be good

Judging by their set at Glastonbury this year, I think so 😀

Joining a reggae band next week. Currently learning a bit of Bob M.

Good work!

 

A lot of Aston Barrett's basslines are deceptively tricky. I've been going through 'I Shot The Sheriff' tonight and needed a listen through this video to get down the timing and subtle changes that go on throughout (and reassure me that it isn't my Bass that's out of tune!)

Nice one stew, some of Aston Barrett’s basslines are just superb, good luck, what’s the band called

Sovereign Reggae. It's a new start up so I'm proceeding with caution. The last reggae band I joined was 'reggae' in name only. I know it's a broad genre, but I have my tastes and the set list didn't mirror them so I bailed.

However the band leader agreed with me and so set up this iteration with a more rootsy direction.

A couple of covers here I think are really good, first up is Bob Marley’s Roots 

and another by the Expanders of Babylon feel dis one, this has a good Bassline to play too

Hoping for a repeat (Sky Arts) at a slightly earlier hour (having to get up too early for these midnight finishes...) but this looks like a great watch. Winston Reid's voice sounds magnificent!

It is being shown shown again, sadly it's at 0100 on Thursday 24 October.

This is from the soundtrack of "The Apple". The notes say that George Clinton was involved in writing the lyrics and arranging it while Wikipedia says "Coby Recht said recording the film's reggae number 'How To Be a Master' was complicated due to actual Jamaican musicians performing on the song and not being able to 'read the charts' that were in English." Bass line is legit.
