The Wailing Wailers Showcase 1964-1981

The Dub Room presents the music of The Wailers from their beginnings in the early 60’s to their signing to Island records and the breakup of the relationship of Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh. This mix also includes tracks in their own careers doing covers of original Wailers songs. Bunny has released Bunny Wailer Sings The Wailers in 1981 as well as Tribute an album of Bob Marley’s songs.
This mix showcases the three different styles of them bredren who began hanging out at singin’ sessions under Joe Higgs – harmonizing to the mornin’ hours. The three friends got their first contract with Coxsone Dodd at Studio One. They released r&b covers, doo wop and the ska that was soon being replaced by a slower tempo rocksteady beat. They were called the Wailing Wailers and was starting to get hits with songs dealing with rude boy themes. Things begin to shift with the arrival of Rastafarian beliefs in the music and Coxsone and like other labels didn’t allow rasta themes in the music. In 1967 after Bob Marley came back from a period working in the states, the three formed their own label Wail N Soul M and started releasing their own material they produced. By 1969 they started working with Lee “Scratch” Perry who’s Upsetter label had already starting making him a leading independent producer since he left Studio One the year before. The period in Jamaican music was again shifting in tone and rhythm. Reggae music was now hitting the charts and the now renamed Bob Marley & The Wailers where making the hits. Lee Perry released two albums on his label, Soul Rebels in 1971 and Soul Revolution in 1972. The sessions where done at Randy’s Studio 17 with Perry’s backup band The Upsetters. The brother team of drums & bass for that band, Carlton Barrett & Aston “Family Man” Barrett would become members of the Wailers by 1972. The records where eventually released thru Trojan Records in England and in 1973 they signed with Chris Blackwell’s Island records. Their two albums they released that year (Catch A Fire & Burnin’) brought them great acclaim and exposure but the three disbanded by 1974. They each would had their own solo careers and would always go back into performing from the Wailing Wailers songbook. Easily some of the best & tuffest music ever recorded in Ja. – serious ting!

King Jammy Showcase Late 80’s early 90’s

Lloyd James, aka Prince Jammy, as a youth worked on electronic equipment before building his own sound system. He relocated to Canada where he had the number one sound system and started recording artists. After he returned to Jamaica he got his chance to apprentice under King Tubby, eventually working on the board and mixing for producer Bunny “Striker” Lee. He also started to release his own dub albums from those sessions. Check out his tracks on the mix preceding this. By the late 70’s, he started producing himself and eventually on his own label. The music scene during this time had changed considerably from rockers to rub-a-dub to now the beginning of dancehall. In 1985 Wayne Smith and a friend of his came up with a rhythm on a Casio keyboard and presented it to Jammy who was open to giving it a try. The tune was ‘Sleng Teng’ and was a big hit. The idea of creating something new without having to rent studio time and hiring a complete band captivated Jammy and allowed freedom to produce and experiment with the idea. It changed the scene completely and everyone followed suit by using keyboards and drum machines. The digital era of dancehall had begun and Jammy was to be crowned king as he became the champion sound. This mix presents this period – ram dancehall!
