Wailer, Bunny – “Dubd’sco Volumes 1 & 2 ” – [Ras Records]

Rococo   7/5/2005   CD, Reggae

After leaving The Wailers in the mid-70’s, Bunny Wailer started his own record label and released his first and best solo album, BLACKHEART MAN. This was followed a few years later by BUNNY WAILER SINGS THE WAILERS, a very successful tribute album featuring the rhythm section of Sly & Robbie. DUBD’SCO features the dub versions of both classic albums. Whereas many dub records only feature snippets of the original vocals or none at all, these tracks retain enough to make them recognizable to almost everyone, even those with only a passing interest in reggae. The overall vibe is upbeat and Bunny’s dub production skills are surprisingly strong; every track is a winner.
