Review by Dzikri Aziz

The Wailing Wailers, the debut album by the Jamaican band Wailing Wailers, is a classic example of early ska and reggae music. The album was originally released in 1965, and it features the group's original lineup, including Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Put It On," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight harmonies and infectious rhythms are on full display throughout the record, as they blend elements of ska, rocksteady, and R&B to create a unique sound that would influence generations of musicians to come.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Simmer Down," a song that became a hit in Jamaica and helped to establish the band's popularity on the island. The song features Marley's distinctive vocals and Tosh's soulful guitar playing, and it showcases the band's ability to write catchy, socially conscious songs that still resonate today.

Comments

A gorgeous blend of Jamaiican ska and American soul from the group which would one day put the Third World on the worldwide pop charts. Though the recording quality is weak and there is nothing close to the musical and lyrical revolution to come, this debut LP hints at some of the crossover abilities of its stars. Everything from the harmonies, to the melodies, to the lyrics, to Bob Marley's too-sweet lead singing owe an obvious thanks to the Impressions, yet the blend of Curtis Mayfield's soul-with-a-message sound into traditional Jamaiican sounds is still enjoyable to hear today and is recognizable in hinidsight as a spark that caught fire.
Still rockin this in 2021?
If Bob Marley were here,he would meet his twin UCLA Basketball ? player Tyger Campbell ! Tyger Campbell reminds me of Bob Marley! Blessings and Hugs ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!
