Old roots artists making good music

[Javier]

I'm listening last CD from H.Andy "From the Roots" and I thought, "this is great roots music still" and i came up with the question:

Which Roots Artist (60's-70's-80's) is making the best roots music today (2000's)?

Bless up!!

I'd vote for Horace, too. Mainly due to Seek and You Will Find being a recent release that is IMHO very excellent. The man still has the voice and is great at being consistently on.

Prince Alla also still releases quality roots material on occasion (sometimes he work with more of a digital edge).

Little Roy is always worth hearing even if he is often spotty.

Wailing Souls still sound good to me, even though they don't do strictly roots style.

U.Roy/Cornell Campbell/Johnny Clarke/Earl Sixteen/
Max Romeo/Stranger Cole/Tony Tuff/Derrick Morgan/

Forgot the Cogos, Viceroys, and Michael Rose on my list. ALL ARE STILL GREAT.

[TheExpanders]

Leanard Dillon "The Ethiopian"

As for me - Michael Rose

[Pluie]

Many of them are still really good when you see them live, but their albums are not always as good as they were...

I'd add Clinton Fearon, he makes really great roots with his boogie brown band.

>clinton fearon DEFINITLY the most inspired today!!
>and the Congos of course with the 3 last albums.
>the last Misty in roots album although it mainly contains covers from previous songs.
>Finally I'd advice to check out the last African Brothers album, very good roots

including live music the list is much longer.
