Nice one miles, the tracks on kaya are just brilliant, Running Away and Easy Skanking are my favourites, running away seems easy to play at first but it really isn’t, Aston’s timing is amazing, have you got Exodus album, from what I can remember that was the first Marley album I bought, learnt the basslines on a cassette player 😂

I went and bought Exodus on Vinyl after going to see the Marley movie (which I really enjoyed).  It is an all time brilliant album!

Absolutely Piers, the way the bassline comes in on natural mystic is so good, 

 

when the film first came out miss reggae wanted to see it, but i wasn’t too bothered thinking it wouldn’t be very good, but I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it, very well produced and lots of attention to details

Yes I had it way back Tony, in fact I learnt the track Exodus the day I bought my first bass back in 1991! (At least I believed I'd learnt it properly at the time 😄).

I came back to correct myself...

Thinking about it now, it was probably Legend that I was trying to first learn from. The gateway album.

Also, saying instead, "The Barrett brothers are killing it on Kaya. A rhythmic masterclass" tells the truth better. 

Can't not give Carlton his due ⭐️
