Wicked wicked video of a drive through Kingston's dilapidated neighborhoods with great music to go with the images.

Just saw the chainstiching vid. Such a well done video. Love that song (god's gonna cut you down).

Johnny Cash's version is my favorite but there is a rendition that Costanza did off an album called "Sonic Diary" Worth a listen.

Hey guys and gals, please watch this clip as a favor for me… It's my brother dj'ing, he's in a contest. This is step 1: getting as many views as possible. Please spread the link if you can.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!..

Geo

favour done - and he's pretty decent too . . .

Seul

It might not make sense or even sound wrong if you don't know the technical stuff behind it, but yeah: he's good!..

Cheers Geo!..

I'm a huge fan of Yoshida Brothers. They are bloody awesome.

Another awesome relatively unknown artist is Ronald Jenkees.

Some Horace Andy with Sly & Robbie at Harry J studio, with Robbie coaching every one, from Sly to Dalton, then each musician says a little thing about himself. It was the last day of the sessions, we had recorded live in the studio about 20 songs in 2 days! Then Horace voiced them and the whole thing was wrapped up in a week. Talk about working fast!!!

PS = there are 17 videos of this album and they are nice, enjoy!

got copies of a gouple of their albums a while back - but hadn't heard the first track . . . the funny thing is it was a conversation about banjos they came up (how the shamisen is played, sounds etc) . . . anyways this guy was the main topic - he can really play some

Jackie Edwards, a truly unsung hero of Jamaican music. I love this video, it shows how bare bone Reggae is when it is reduced to its essential form: drum, bass, organ, guitar and a singer with a badass voice and a nice little tune… The recording booth wall is lined with egg boxes, in a truly roots fashion, the mikes are rudimentary, everything is minimal, yet it works and it is truly wonderful. I love it.

And now, Delroy Wilson, one of the most soulful singers ever to emerge out of Jamaica

Shit, I could spend the whole day playing some of that…

The true essence of Jamaican music is the dancehall, where artists entertain the patrons by singing or DJ-ing over instrumentals of the hits of the day. Here is a fascinating (at least for Reggae fans!) scene shot in 1984, the golden age for DJ's and rubadub Reggae. It HOT!!!

Reggae's holy trinity so to speak consists of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, the original Wailers, so tonight, I'm posting 3 live vids by Bob, Peter and Bunny.
