S01 Ep09 - Getting in Line with Sly Dunbar
Interview Date: October 23, 2011 @9am EDT
Special Guest: Sly Dunbar (a.k.a. one half of "Sly and Robbie" or also know by some as one half of “the Riddim Twins”) is quite possibly the most important drummer in Jamaican Music History. Lowell Charles Dunbar’s impact on music (not just Reggae but music in general) is immeasurable. It is said that he has over 200 000 recordings behind his belt (not including remixes or Dubs); has had over 100 No.1 hits in Jamaica. He is easily one of the most influential drummers of the second half of the Century. In this podcast we talk about what it means for him to be a drummer, where Jamaican music is and where he see's it going, the album "Present Taxi" and going into the studio to record with Bob Dylan and Mark Knopfler.
