 | | Description: | Dreads At King Tubby's by Various, released 21 October 2022, includes the following tracks: "Dem A Say Rasta", "Declaration Of Rights", "Every Rasta Is A Star", "Man Like Me" and more.
This version of Dreads At King Tubby's comes as a 1xCD. - Rastafarianism came to prominence in the late 1960s/1970s and had a huge influence on the musical culture in Jamaica. The sentiments of the songs reflected the struggles of life, as reggae music always did but now with an added spiritual/conscious element to the lyrics. By the mid-1970s most, if not all the top-flight singers were following the doctrine and growing their har to dreadlocks. Everything was truly "Dread". At the heart of this musical explosion was again Bunny "Striker" Lee a man who was always at the heart of the action and many times in his career ahead of the musical game. As Bunny Lee's stable of singers were at this time nearly all Rasta's and with the worldwide acceptance of Bob Marley, in especially the foreign territories, this musical style was the way forward for reggae music in the mid-1970s. The visual focal point of this new turn in reggae music would be a call to all things "Dread". Add to the mix Bunny Lee's close working relationship with studio wizard King Tubby, again not a Rasta himself, but someone who could sonically bring what was needed to the table and enable the whole musical chemistry to fall into place. Heavy rhythms were created to match the heavy and serious lyrics and "Versions Galore" as they say were coming out fast and furious. We have compiled a set of conscious tunes that not only match the "Dread" criteria, but also are just great tunes. The great Jacob Miller's "Zion Gates", Cornell Campbell's "Two Faced Rasta", Horace Andy's "It's Gonna Be Dread" alongside Linval Thompson's "Never Conquer Jah". Two timeless cuts from the The Abyssinians get a fresh outing by two great singers, firstly Don Carlos's cut to "Satta Massaganna" and the prince of reggae himself, Dennis Brown works "Declaration of Rights" in fine style. Johnny Clarke's "Man Like Me" and "Dem Say Rasta" still sounds as fresh today as when they were first laid down and Wayne Jarrett's "Live On Jah" and Frankie Jones's "Satta And Praise Jah" add to this great selection. All great "Dread" tunes that were cut or voiced at King Tubby's giving them that extra shine. So if you are Rasta or not this is a great set of tunes to make you move and also like all of the best things in life, makes you think... Also features Bonnie Davis. CD version includes three bonus tracks; includes a track by Leroy Smart.Recorded at Channel 1, Harry J's, Randy's Studio 17, Dynamic and King Tubby's Studio.
Tracks 15 to 17 are CD bonus tracks."The Dreads At King Tubby's" on CD by Kingston Sounds is a powerful collection that dives deep into the roots-heavy, spiritual side of 1970s Jamaican reggae and dub. Focusing on "dread" themes - Rastafarian consciousness, social commentary and heavy bass-led rhythms - this compilation brings together vocal cuts and their dub versions, mixed in the classic King Tubby style. Expect stripped-back drum and bass foundations, echo-drenched horns, haunting organ lines and vocals that drift in and out of the mix, all shaped by the trademark reverb, delay and filtering that defined the golden era of dub. The CD is ideal both for dedicated reggae collectors who want a curated snapshot of this period and for newcomers who wish to experience authentic deep-roots sounds in a coherent, well-sequenced set. Rather than centering on one single star, the selection emphasizes atmosphere and style: militant steppers rhythms, meditative one-drops and spacious dub versions are woven together to create a rich, immersive listening journey from start to finish.
