Hugh Mundel and Lacksley Castell

Post by Bob Votolato »

Of all the reggae I have listened to, Hugh Mundell and Lacksley Castell have really stood out to me. Their music has touched me like none other has ever before. Does anyone have any suggestions to reggae artists that are similar to these? I listen mostly to reggae produced during the '80s, just because this is the music I have come most accustomed to. I'm simply a reggae lover in search of more of the greatest music ever made.

Thanks,

hail up bobby,

these 2 youths is one a mi favorites as well. now mi haffe tell yuh seh, if anyone can exemplify the same style, same vibe i would haffe seh it would a be only one person. the one junior reid. ca junior reid an lacksley castell were both waterhouse residents, yunno, kingston 11. junior was inspired to mek it inna the business because lacksley 1st single babylon world an because dem was good friend key idrens. lacksley introduce junior to mundell, an stright fam deh dem hol a vibe, mundell tek junior as him likkle protoge', like an prentice. back inna the day, yuh could a si mundell, castell, an reid hangin togeda a yard, inna waterhouse, singing an tings. after a while dem 3 start really sounding the same. mundell produce junior's 1st single "speak the truth", then reid do the intro for mundell's "run come in a de dance", then mundell produce, reid's "know myself", pon the flipside a mundell's pop style. reid was actually in the back seat of mundell's car when him was shot an murdered.
reid is the most likely candidate for that whole mundell, castell style, especially fram the early 80's identical voices. reid was the youngest out of the 3.
check fe him music and yuh will si.

bless up,
pisces
