THE LEGACY

The Album: Sly & Robbie

A Dub Experience (ISLAND, 1985)

The Sound: Featuring dubs of Black Uhuru’s Chill Out, The Tamlins’ version of Randy Newman’s Baltimore and more, this set fully emphasises the cruciality of Robbie’s bass. The jazz, funk, and rock elements underpinning his lines are revealed with subtle pauses, grooving neck slides and forceful chorded notes, with drummer Dunbar his symbiotic other half.
