Apple Gabriel - Teach Them Right

Jahsolidrock proudly presents the new Apple Gabriel album Teach Them Right...

With the 1978 released LP "The Same Song", Albert "Apple Gabriel" Craig and fellow members Lascelle "Wiss" Bulgin and Cecil "Skeleton" Spence of Israel Vibration secured themselves a place in the annals of Reggae history. The debut LP was followed by the "Unconquered People" (1979) and "Why You So Craven" (1981) sets, before they recorded their comeback album "Strength Of My Life" in 1988, which was the first of the many albums Israel Vibration recorded for Gary "Dr. Dread" Himmelfarb's RAS Records.

Apple Gabriel recording new album

While it’s not uncommon to hear stories of a reggae star’s rise from the ghettos of Jamaica, few performers endured the struggle and have earned the success and international fame as Albert “Apple Gabriel” Craig. As an original member of the globally renowned harmony trio Israel Vibration, Apple has recently embarked on a solo career. During his career with Israel Vibration, Apple was a major contributor to their “anthemic” songs and ethereal “bionic” roots harmonies, and he also wrote a seemingly infinite number of great songs, such as Lift Up Your Conscience, We A De...

JahSolidRock Music and Not Easy At All Productions are ambitious in their goals: to help re-invent the authentic reggae-sound, that long time ago started to inspire them so much. Starting point is the diversity of styles that exist within “roots reggae”, a genre that nowadays is...

Earl Sixteen . New album on the Jahsolidrock label..

With his distinctive, nasal delivery and steadfast conscious messages, singer Earl Daley (née Earl 16) has been a part of the international reggae landscape for three decades. Both in Jamaica and his current London home, Daley always finds just the right producer or team to elicit the rootsy music framework his voice deserves. This has lead to landmark collaborations with the likes of producer and singer Mikey Dread, British electronic-dub/dance producers Dreadzone, and the dubmaster Mad Professor. It’s easy to see why Daley has become such a revered performer and sought-after recording...

Delroy Wilson - Dub Plate Style: Remixed By Prince Jammy 1978

The aspect of reggae music that has generally failed to be appreciated outside its grass roots audience is the plain and simple singer of songs. Outside of the core audience it’s all Bob Marley, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, roots, deejays and dub, with little appreciation of the likes of Pat Kelly, Alton Ellis, Slim Smith, Garnet Silk and Sanchez. Only John Holt managed to infiltrate largish swathes of white suburban housewives. It seems that the singers who specialised in reggae interpretations of soulful ballads or country tunes failed to attract attention amongst a wider cross-section of...

Dennis Brown Tribute

To stay in the Dennis Brown vibes...

Dennis Brown's first recording was "Lips of Wine" recorded for Derrick Harriott, but this was not released initially. He then recorded for Coxsone Dodd at Studio One, and Dodd released Brown's first single, "No Man is an Island". Brown recorded two albums for Dodd, No Man is an Island and If I Follow my Heart (the title track penned by Alton Ellis). During this time, Brown recorded material for Lloyd Daley ("Baby Don't Do It" and "Things in Life") and material for Derrick Hariott, which was eventually released as the Super Reggae and Soul...
