Bunny's gonna be doing his first W. DC gig in 10 years on the 28th. I wonder what he's been up to lately?

He just did some US west-coast dates I think

RIP Bunny Wailer. Blackheart Man = best non-Bob Wailers solo album forever and always

A good one , although someone on that best reggae albums thread was being contrary & dissing it.

I heard Hook Line & Sinker (recorded and released in Jamaica in 1982, but never released in the U.S.) was supposed to be great too.
Love Blackheart Man, will always love the Wailers.

One thing I love about Blackheart Man is that it's so musically sunny and light-hearted in a way that couldn't clash harder with the dark, foreboding album cover--nearly every song in a major key, solid but smooth riddims with tasteful synth accents

Blackheart Man 4 ever though "Dreamland" is maybe my all time fave song of his. So long, Bunny.

Rock'n'Groove (1981)is pretty flawless Bunny, imo. Roots Radics backed him up on that one. Classic dancehall album, if anyone is of a mind

Black heart Man, Sings the Wailers, Rock n Groove, Tribute, Marketplace all fab IMO, as are Dubd’sco 1 and 2. Hook Line & Sinker less to my taste iirc, I should dig it out.
