Natty Dread produced by Tommy Cowan, Warrick Lyn, Chris Blackwell, The Wailers for Island in 1974
Built around two 1974 cuts on Island, Natty Dread brings together Augustus Pablo’s Mr Big and Bob Marley and The Wailers’ Natty Dread, with Tommy Cowan, Warrick Lyn, Chris Blackwell and The Wailers credited on the production side. The pairing leans into a roots-heavy early-70s feel, with Pablo’s steppers style sitting against Marley’s vocal version of the title track. It also comes from the era when Natty Dread marked Marley’s first album under the Bob Marley and The Wailers name, a key turning point for Island’s reggae catalog.

- Augustus Pablo – Mr Big
