Reggaebass Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Featuring Bob Marley and the wailers I believe 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Nice, Wiki gives us this - Bob Marley and the Wailers (also known as Bob Marley & the Wailers) were a Jamaican reggae band led by Bob Marley. It developed from the earlier ska vocal group, The Wailers, created by Peter Tosh, Marley, and Bunny Wailer in 1963. By late 1963 singers Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, and Cherry Smith had joined on. By the early 1970s, Marley and Bunny Wailer had learned to play some instruments, and brothers Aston "Family Man" Barrett (bass) and Carlton Barrett (drums), had joined the band. After Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left the band in 1974, Marley began touring with new band members as Bob Marley and the Wailers. His new backing band included the Barrett brothers, Junior Marvin and Al Anderson on lead guitar, Tyrone Downie and Earl "Wya" Lindo on keyboards, and Alvin "Seeco" Patterson on percussion. The "I Threes", consisting of Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, and Marley's wife, Rita, provided backing vocals. Simmer Down apparently dates from 1963, I never knew that !

Reggaebass Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I’ve had some interesting discussions on a few reggae forums about who played the bass on certain tracks on Bob Marley albums, i said it was Aston Barrett, but some disagreed and said it was Val Douglas, I know val has played with many famous reggae artists at some point or another , but none could show me any proof. he also played bass for the Skatalites.

Reggaebass Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 I quite often go down a rabbit hole with some tracks, a while back I was playing this by Al Campbell , and I’d played it years ago to a different song, it’s the classic pretty looks riddim, there’s so many versions, I was trying to find out the original Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
