SS...I'll try and get a pic and location for you. My son is 19 and likes a wide range of music, I am partial to a lot of it too....listening to Dirty Heads right now. I think if you take music down to the guy on the cliffs you could barter and both come out winners
I'm not sure if it's roots reggae, but Montego Bay (Bobby Bloom) is the first reggae song I recall hearing the U.S. circa 1970.
And it's a song about visiting JA.
Another non-roots classic is Dreadlock Holiday by 10cc.
In the past ..I've downloaded podcasts..
Dubsession ... long sets .. most well over an hour long (abit "chatty" ) .. ton's of variety
with tracklistings http://www.dubsession.com/
& Big Mikey Dread
DubXanne-
Police In Dub
worth a listen ..
I just re-read the thread and Dave and Ansell Collins - Double Barrel - is another great old reggae tune, that's often overlooked.
& the Aggrolites are an EXCELLENT band to see live ...
as they play alot of smaller venues..without having to take out a second mortgage
who doesn't love a little "Dirty Reggae"
... big fan of the Easy Star All-stars.. Dub side of the Moon (gotta watch the Wizzard of Oz to this one )
& The Lonely Hearts Dub Band
new release ..Thrilla ( not so much )
Great thread!
Looks like I got a lot of new music to check out.
(I have heard SS a few times and thought they were pretty cool)

How about another couple of older roots reggae -- Half Pint and Super Cat
Sometimes I find Reggae remakes a tad cheesey .. ( let's face it ..most remakes) (regardless of genres)
But these tracks are blazin' ..
Wayne Wade's version of Lady ..
& The Pioneers version of Papa Was A Rollin' Stone
