The Reggae Podclash #16 - Val Douglas of The Skatalites - 8/15/20

Legendary Jamaican bass player Val Douglas makes a grand entrance with a revelation that surprises both the hosts! We go on to discuss his work with producers like Duke Reid, Joe Gibbs, Lee Perry and many more, as well as with almost every notable artist from 1970s Jamaica including Bob Marley, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Delroy Wilson, The Now Generation Band, and an incredible list that goes on and on. Val talks about why a 4-string bass is vastly superior to a 5 or 6 string, and tells us about the 1-string bass he played on tour with Maxie Priest. This was one of our favorite episodes yet!
Tunes Of The Week:
Roger’s = The Upsetters - “The Vampire”
Devin’s = Danny Clarke & The Meditations - “Changing Of The Times”
