Two hours of vintage Jamaican music. Focusing on the roots style of reggae but playing other styles including Rocksteady, Ska, Dancehall, DeeJay, R&B covers, Soul covers, Instrumentals. From one hit wonders on obscure labels to more common artists like Lee Perry, Dennis Brown and Big Youth. Lot’s of long 12″ singles.
Seeing Peter Tosh at Southpark Meadows in 1983 cemented my love for reggae music.
My wife & I made our first trip to Jamaica in June 1985 and have returned many times over the years.
Our daughter’s first concert was Burning Spear in 1988 when she was 3 months old! I’ve been collecting reggae since the early 80’s and have a vast collection to share with Roots Train listeners.
