NICE TIME RIDDIM produced by WAIL’N SOUL’M/ROOTS FROM THE YARD 1967
Nice Time Overview
The roots anthology featuring the Nice Time Riddim first appeared in Jamaica in the late 1970s, a period when reggae music was growing both locally and worldwide. This collection brings together some of reggae’s most respected names and tracks, tying today’s music to the genre’s deep roots. Bob Marley & The Wailers’ “Nice Time” stands out as a classic. Marley, known for global hits like “No Woman, No Cry,” helped bring reggae to international audiences. His work with The Wailers remains a cornerstone of the genre. Alongside Marley, Johnny Clarke adds his own touch with “Nice Time” and “Nice Time Dub.” Clarke was a leading voice in 1970s reggae, and his smooth vocals and conscious lyrics made him a regular on Jamaican charts. King Tubby, a pioneer of dub music, delivers “Good Time Dub.” Tubby is celebrated for his innovative studio techniques, which shaped the sound of reggae and dub. His influence reaches far beyond Jamaica, inspiring producers and musicians worldwide. The riddim was produced by WAIL'N SOUL'M/ROOTS FROM THE YARD, a label founded by members of The Wailers, including Bob Marley. This label played a key role in reggae’s early development, releasing influential tracks that still get played in cultural sets today. The Nice Time Riddim’s timeless sound keeps reggae’s roots alive for new generations.
