Yabby You - Conquering Lion (1972)

Search Amazon.com for Yabby You Conquering Lion
Yabby You passed away last week. Heard his seductive music on UofT radio. I've never felt such positive vibes while contemplating the anti-Christ. Check out this herald of righteous dub for the love of Jah. Medication for the heart. Will post more.

Junior Byles - Beat Down Babylon: The Upsetter Years


The story of Junior Byles is both inspiring and tragic. I think he is the James Brown of dub music - it's rocksteady, R&B, and full of love. Mixed by The Upsetter.

U-Roy - Dread in a Babylon (1975)/Rasta Ambassador (1977)

The Originator - a contemporary of King Tubby, Lee Perry - roots of a masterful rastafar.

Alpha Blondy - Apartheid is Nazism (1985)


A musical legend, activist, and humanitarian. One of the most soothing voices in reggae.

Exuma - Rude Boy (1986)


The Obeah Man!
His older stuff is a lot more folky and satanic, this has more of a groovy reggae feel.
Clean on the outside, dirty on the inside...

The Congos - Heart Of The Congos (1977)


Produced with Lee Perry. Wonderful review of the album over at AMG. Myton has a trippy falsetto and Johnson has a warm tenor- the two compliment each other beautifully. I heard about The Congos years ago while talking to a random dude from Côte d'Ivoire in a post office.
