Influences
mostly 60s and 70s styles.
im one of those people who really does "like everything" except a lot of new music that makes its way to the public eye is terrible so i usually avoid it and stick with the classics.
i have a bunch of reggae "oldies" on vinyl and cd. ive been collecting reggae for 15 years.
i DJ a bit here and there but nothing major.
my band actually played Rocksteady and Lovers Rock and Rub a Dub (live Deejay versions) and live Dub. Reggae is just what it boils down to.
