That's why I love the original Wailers because of the vocal interchange between Peter, Bunny and Bob. The Jamaican version is actually quite good. I like the acoustic sounding guitar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-13249877877464741592014-02-19T21:54:26.461-05:002014-02-19T21:54:26.461-05:00Fantastic to hear Wayne Perkins take on the record...Fantastic to hear Wayne Perkins take on the recording. I would like to know 1. What was a Southerner doing in London back then, besides recording, obviously. It was very brave for a Southerner to leave the South and travel overseas back then, 2. who really played the bass part, 3. Did Perkins play on other Wailer's songs?, 4. What other recordings did Wayne Perkins play on, and, 5. Who were his musical influences? Scotty Moore? Hank Garland? Chet Atkins? Etc.<br /><br />Such a terrific recording - American sounding backing vocals and American guitar with Jamaican rhythms. Mysterious, complex, sparse, remarkable recording! Heard this when I was a kid and was intrigued by the title. Haven't heard it since then until now. Am amazed at the complexity of the musicianship - sparse and interwined. Outstanding! Kudos to Chris Blackwell for choosing Wayne Perkins and for signing the Wailers!!!renee, massachusetts, usanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-31978728036882425242014-02-19T21:48:41.062-05:002014-02-19T21:48:41.062-05:00Fantastic to hear Wayne Perkins take on the record...Fantastic to hear Wayne Perkins take on the recording.
