A chronicle of Barrett's bass-driven roots reggae career.
A record of the origins of dub and the man who was the backbone of the Wilers.
A collection of instrumentals and dubs by "Family Man" Barrett, known as the bassist for Bob Marley and The Wilers. This album contains precious recordings from the 1970s to the early 1980s, and is full of the finest roots reggae with deep bass sounds. You can enjoy the depth of dub, which strips away the melody and speaks through rhythm and sound. This is an important work that shines a light on the behind-the-scenes people of reggae.
