Early rock steady and roots reggae can be extremely infectious. And while detractors of reggae music will cite a sameness to the music that simply doesn't move them, I bet these two tracks will. Up top, from 1969 is Tommy McCook & The Supersonics and below from 1966, are The Wailers, a trio of kids featuring Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailers. Guaranteed to put you in a better mood.

Lordy, lordy! Good stuff.
Brilliant!
Love the Wailers cut. Also liked your reggae comp from awhile back. The Harder They Come will always be the pinnacle for me.
reminds me of stripped down Meters tracks.
