It just troubled me that someone meant to imply his killer was some kind of homeless freeloading bum (maybe our ethnocentric interpretation) when it was really a brother rasta. [/ QUOTE ] "homeless freeloading bum" and "brother rasta" are not mutually exclusive concepts. |

For a good starter album. Try the soundtrack to "The Harder they Come".

The Skatalites are a huge influence on the beginning of reggae. Check them out too.

Re: Anyone know anything about reggae?
Not sure why everyone is just naming bands. Just about every reggae artist has put out some real crap at one point.
Two of the best reggae CD's ever (Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear and Wild Suspense by The Wailing Souls) have their dub versions included. It's like getting two CD's for the price of one, plus you might love dub. Heart Of The Congos by The Congos Satta Massaganna by The Abyssinans Right Time by The Mighty Diamonds Money In My Pocket is a great Dennis Brown compilation. Gold is a great Gregory Isaacs compilation. If you want something really great and obscure, try Black Star Liner by Fred Locks and Pick Up The Pieces by The Royals. |

Re: Anyone know anything about reggae?
do you like R&B/soul music at all? if so, check out Beres Hammond. IMO, he has the smoothest soul voice out there currently.
