Solid Gold From The Vaults Vol 1-1983 Overview
In the early 1980s, reggae music was still deeply connected to its roots. The sound was warm and soulful, with steady rhythms and strong melodies. Many artists from this time helped shape the classic reggae style that fans love today. This reggae set, linked to 1983, brings together important tracks and respected musicians from the era. Carl (Cannonball) Bryan’s “Red Ash” stands out with his signature saxophone sound. Bryan is well known for his work with Studio One, where he played on many legendary recordings. Cornell Campbell’s “Music Keep On Playing” shows off his smooth, high tenor voice.
