Re: wailers as a backing band

Only a few albums were backed by the Wailers apart from Bob.
1 / which ones are crucial in your opinion ?
2/ how did they choose the singers to back ? this question comes from the fact most of them are quite obscure, so probably it is not because of fame or money that they backed them :exemple : jahmel, tinga stewart, Larry Ethnic. For Iya Karna or Alpha Blondy it could be a money affair but for the others I was wandering, mayve friendship, or else.
3 / any info about those obscure singers that I have quoted ?

Much thanks and I wish so many other albums were backed by those legends !!

ps ; imo the crucial ones are all of them with maybe a preference on Iya Karna and Alpha Blondy and Tinga, but still, the raw roots sound on jahmel's album is great to hear with the wailers playing

that's right. A crucial one two, although I prefer the Same Song !

The Roots-The Evil That You Do 45rpm is crucial imho.

It's more the vocals that are poor but riddims are quite good....
