Reggae expert and
dollhouse collector
Chuck Foster has assembled a highly readable
and reference-ready book on ska, rock steady, reggae,
dancehall, dub, and what-have-you. What makes this book
so fun is that Chuck based it around a dazzling array of interviews
he's conducted over the years with the big guns of Jamaican
music. Among my favorite parts are a thorough examination
of the twists and turns of Black Uhuru's career via Chuck's
extensive conversations with Michael Rose, Duckie Simpson,
Junior Reed and others. Also top-notch are encyclopedic
chapters on singers, vocal groups, and instrumentalists,
plus a mind-numbing discography at the end.
