Think that I may have mentioned my 30+ years of infatuation with reggae/ska/rock steady or Jamaican music in general.
Anyone wanting to explore these amazing genres of music could start in no better place than Trojan’s fine box sets. Each one comes with 3 CDs by various artists and they are amazing value for money at around £10 over here or $22 in the US. Buy a couple and decide for yourself which artists that you like.
Or head on over to their web site here and select Trojan Radio and listen to some tracks for free. If you like dub music I can recommend Tommy McCook Meets The Aggrovator’s King Tubby Dub - a classic.
Tommy was a brilliant saxophone player and a founding member of the Skatalites, never heard of them then check this out. It opens with an interview with the great man himself, then has a ska track, another brief interview and closes with a rock steady number.
