Playlist – 15th May 2010 featuring Papa Jon’s concise history of Reggae music!

My first post on the BCB blog… please accept my sincere apologies! Remeber, you can listen back to this show at www.theothersideradio.com. And it’s a good’un, so you should!

I’ve got High Pressure main man Jon in the studio with me tonight, and he knows what’s what when it comes to roots and reggae… I’ve employed him for the evening to teach us a few things we might not know about the history of Reggae – from the 60’s to the present day. It’s an education, so listen back and learn…

On 18th October I did a reggae special for Black history Month, although nearly all the programme’s music orginates in some way from the blues (except the latin stuff and even then I bet it does).

So I played old stuff like The Congo’s Soddam and Gomorah and Stepping Razor by Peter Tosh. With very old stuff like Toots and the Maytals and the Heptones. I try (fail you may say) to get the programmes to flow old to new, slow to fast, quiet to loud so everything seems like a logical procession.
