Bassment Sessions Throwback, Part 2

For Part Two, I’ll be looking at how Studio One regained the crown after losing some of their cache and hitmaking ability to Duke Reid’s Treasure Isle and his rocksteady output by shifting gears, embracing Rasta and the evolving roots reggae style, toasting, rub-a-dub, dub and rockers ushering in the new generation of future icons: Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Prince Jazzbo, Dillinger, Willi Williams and more.

Kick back, crank it up – this week’s show is now in session!
