my top ten in roots and culture , just ask and i shall burn
max romeo war in a babylon
Great lyrics-you can picture Max and Scratch sitting down in the Black Ark writing these songsuptown top rankin' album
im gonna put on an iron shirt.......
junior murvin police and tieves
This record will actually make you happy that you have food in your belly , but it might make you sad that Murvin never really got hungry enough to make another record this good.
jimmy cliff Harder They Come - O.S.T.
as a big fan of the Jamaican forms of music , I can assure you that in very few, if any, places, will one find a better cross-section of rocksteady, vocal trio, rude boy, and reggae music than on this classic film soundtrack.
culture international herb
a masterpiece from culture in their earlier days, totally roots reggae. Those who loves it (like me) will really enjoy it.
rally round jehovahs throne is a superb rooots and culture
king tubby meets the rockers uptown
You can't find a better pairing...King Tubby at the boards and the Rockers supplying the riddims. Music wouldn't be the same without the sounds found in this album.
uper ape scratch perry and the upsetters
It does not get much better than this. Back in 1967 lee perry and the upsetters were making and braking ground in jamica with their roots reggae. Perry is firmly at the controls on this release and everything really seems to just come together, the harmony singing, the heavy rumbling bass (i mean HEAVY) and rhythm.
eek a mouse wah do dem
this album catches Eek in his early '80s prime when the digital reggae sound was first exploding. The title track was a massive hit. Fans of conscious roots-style reggae may want to think twice before investing in this album, but lovers of classic raggamuffin will find this to be a fine addition to their collections.
black uhuru sensimilla
this was their first album. They became an international attraction by wrapping reggae and Rastafarianism into a slick production of drum-machines and synthesizers
peter tosh legalise it
In 1973 Peter Tosh left the band to start a solo career. His first release was Legalize It in 1976. The album has 9 songs including the title track which, for obvious reasons, became a sort of theme song for the marijuana movement. Regardless, it is the album as a whole that shows off what Peter Tosh was capable of as a singer and songwriter.
culture two sevens clash
One of the masterpieces of the roots era, no album better defines its time and place than Two Sevens Clash, which encompasses both the religious fervor of its day and the rich sounds of contemporary Jamaica.
