Genre: Reggae/Dub

To celebrate Jamaica's 50 years of independence 1962-2012, Kingston Sounds have put together a set of releases that cover the musical styles that reggae mutated into through its history: ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub, DJ style, and dancehall. So listen up and enjoy!

Welcome to the roots reggae sound, a period in reggae's history that followed the two-year supremacy of rocksteady, which began to tail off around the end of 1968. The reggae sound, many say, did not come initially from the chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the keyboard/organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some roots reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica. It features Cornell Campbell, Barry Brown, Johnny Clarke, Delroy Wilson, Horace Andy, and more.
