Bunny Lee started working in the Jamaican
Recording Industry from before there was a
mention of the music called Reggae. After
initially starting with Duke Reid's Sound
System, he quickly went on to produce (read:
finance) releases himself. It was under the
financial supervision of Edward O' Sullivan
"Bunny" Lee that Reggae Drummer Carlos "Santa"
Davis developed the now classic Flying Cymbal
sound (with an open hi-hat on the 2nd and 4th
count of every bar) in the mid 1970's.
Steppin' Youths tribute to this excellent
producer focuses especially on the works that
Bunny Lee did in this very same era of the mid
1970's. The time wherein singers like Johnny
Clarke and Cornell Campbell sang their Conscious
lyrics over the militant riddims played by
Channel One Studio's House Band the Aggrovators.
Not just singers, though...
The Podcast features some very catchy DJ
tracks by U Roy, Dillinger and others. Of
course, King Tubby is there too with a number of
heavyweight DUB version.
