Various Artists – Listen Up! Roots Reggae [Green Vinyl LP]

Genre: Reggae, Roots Reggae.

Welcome to the roots reggae sound. A period in reggae's history that followed the two year supremacy of rocksteady, that 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. Featuring Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Cornell Campbell, Leroy Smart, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, and Delroy Wilson.
