Pearl Acoustics - Great Recordings of all time
I believe that ‘Exodus’ is worthy of being classified as one of the most important reggae albums of all time. In this video, I not only explore the album itself but also look a little into its history and the story behind it. I play some excerpts of each track (via streaming) and end with a blast from my vinyl copy. Towards the end, I also explore some other reggae music from other artists, that I also find inspiring and worthy of a mention.
