Reggae Anyone? - Beyond Tiki

Roland Alphonso, Tommy McCook, Alton Ellis, Derrick Harriott, The Maytals, just to name a few...some of the greatest artists and music ever recorded in my opinion...But the unusual thing is that the rhythms created way back in the early to mid 60's were the foundation for so much Jamaican music until now. The main era of reggae I collect is early 1980's dancehall especially anything produced by Henry "Junjo" Lawes and released on his three main labels - Volcano, Arrival and Jah Guidance. His primary backing band on the majority of his releases were the Roots Radics and they recycled Studio One rhythms and used them extensively on a variety of hits by such diversified artists as Johnny Osbourne, Little John, Sister Nancy, Yellowman, etc. to name a few. Riddims like Full Up, Nanny Goat and Real Rock ruled the dancehall in the early 80's... Studio One is still recycled today and it just staggers the mind to think of what Coxsone Dodd and his studio have done for reggae and Jamaican music in general... :drink: Just Cool!!* JohnTiki Greetings to all from The Pi Yi Lenai in luxurious Bel Air Maryland!
