The Reggae Thread

I’ve got a whole library but this one has some great footage

Robbie Shakespeare's definitely the most influential Bass player for my playing and producing and I'm pretty certain I've spent many more hours listening to his basslines than anyone else's, they are a lesson in everything I find great about the sound that a Bass guitar can make and how it can drive a song without needing to be flashy. 

 

When I think about it, he's probably had quite a big impact on my life in general - possibly more than any other musician. So yeah, I'm gutted about this. RIP.

Jacob Miller Ft Ray I & Inner Circle  'Natty Christmas'. A novelty for sure, but I play it a lot around this time of year when people come around to the house and expect Christmas music:

 

 

...also, not Reggae, but James Brown's 'Funky Christmas' album gets dusted off.
