"Dread at the Controls" makes the heart
of every Reggae love beat a little bit harder. The
name of the first Jamaican Reggae Radio Show ever
to flow over the airwaves rings a bell to everyone
even remotely familiar with the history of Reggae
Music.
The Dread at the Controls was Michael Campbell,
aka Mikey Dread. An accomplished vocalist,
producer and performer, the brother is active
until this very date.
In the September 30 episode of Bad Gals Radio,
Mikey Dread joins the host Mama Asid for the first
part of a very interesting interview, in hich he
reveals how the classic "Barber Saloon"
was never intended to be released, and more
interesting details concerning his story.
There is also another reason why this interview
should be heard.
The fact that Mikey Dread is a well-known, open
and friendly Rastaman who is willing to go very
far to just promote Reggae Music, unfortunately
also attracts vampires. Vampires who will use the
name Mikey Dread without being Mikey Dread. Who
will run around pretending to be the original
Dread at the Controls without being him.
Unfortunately, the sound quality of the
interview is really, eer... bad.
