2. The Wailing Souls - Wild suspense/ Best of Wailing Soul.

After some technical difficulties back with a double shot of 50 days of Roots...
2 albums from the quartet of the vocal harmony trio's 🤔....
Wild suspense is their second album and released in 1979 on Island records.
Produced by Wailing Souls.
Almost every track is a bona fide classic with stunning vocal performances and backed by the finest musicians around. Comes with my favorite track, Bredda Gravalicious.
The best of released in 1984 on Channel One (US).
All tracks recorded between 1970 and 1978.
Recorded and mixed at Channel One (Jamaica).
Got some overlaps with Wild suspense, but with tracks like Very well i am not complaining..

ARTIST OF THE DAY

50 days of Roots....
#49. Linton Kwesi Johnson - Bass culture.

A year after the release of Forces of victory in 1979 came the successor Bass culture.
Recorded at Gooseberry sound studio, mixed by Dennis Bovell, and produced by LKJ and Blackbeard.
Considered as bit of a disapointment at the time because it doesn't seem to have the high and explosiveness of Forces of...
Listening to it nowadays you can only conclude that Bass culture is a tremendous album that might not that political and confrontational.
But on the other hand there are tunes like Inglan is a bitch , Di black petty booshwah and Street 66 (that bassline!) that set the tone.
And with Loraine as a potential chart buster there is no other conclusion that this is another Dub Roots poetry classic.
