The Reggae Thread

This led me on to the great track by Wayne Wade- Poor and Humble ,which was produced by Linval and like lots of tunes back then was backed by the Roots Radics

I came across a track today that I really like and I don’t remember hearing  back in the day, around 1979, it was written by Tabby cat Kelly who I’m not familiar with, it was produced by Dennis Bovell , and to me I can hear a similar vibe to Matumbi , I’ll have to do some more digging to find out who played on this, anyone know anything

Note the slightly different title of the Tabby Cat record. Someone didn't proofread the advert 🤨

The new one from Clinton Fearon, he just gets better and better, so good

Good choice, Great album and mato cirade is quickly coming one of my favourite bass players 

[mario_buoninfante]

more dub than reggae, but I recently bought this and it's really heavy and good

 

 

[skilamalink]

This is what King Tubby turned into A New Normal In Dub on his latest album

 

 

[Sonic_Groove]

One of My favourite vocalists in Any Genre!

 

 

[Mykesbass]

I'd put this track in the 'alright, but not amazing' pile except for one bit - check the beautiful bass note at the end of the horn riff just after the little vocal refrain. Absolute masterclass in dropping the note in exactly the right place! 

 

[Reggaebass]

It’s a Linval Thompson day for me today, one of my favourite vocalist 

 

[Leonard Smalls]

Here's a bit of me, in dub 😁😎

The bassline from 'Spectrum', by Herbie Hancock. That's a pretty cool steal.

drums and keyboard riff too! it's basically a sample from the original track, that is awesome too

[Reggaebass]

I don’t know spectrum, Horace Andy’s safe from Harm is a version of the track by Massive Attack , which is also great

And he's playing a Precision Bass (right up by the neck). I'm a recent convert from Jazz basses as I always thought the Precision wasn't so well suited to Reggae, it does it well though.

I’ve seen Mato Cirade play that P, not sure which one of them owns it though, I used a precision for years before getting hooked on jazzes, I find you get better lows from a jazz but they both good
