Crazy Baldheads Riddim – Taxi

Produced by Taxi in 1986, Crazy Baldheads Riddim pulls together a strong reggae lineup anchored by Beenie Man and Luciano, Bob Marley and The Wailers, Carlton Livingston, Garnett Silk, Johnny Clarke, Lady Saw, and Jah Stitch. The set leans on the classic Crazy Baldheads foundation, with standout cuts like Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Crazy Baldheads, Beenie Man and Luciano’s Crazy Baldhead, and Garnett Silk’s Every Knee Shall Bow, plus dubs and versions from Johnny Clarke and King Tubby and The Aggrovators. Taxi’s Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare connection gives the project that familiar heavyweight groove, and the mix of roots singers, veteran voices, and later-era dancehall names keeps the riddim moving across different reggae eras.
