OLDIES SUNDAY: @BadBrainsBand – Leaving Babylon (1982)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Oldies Sunday, and today we’re going to do something different. While this section has been home to many Artists who hail from the Caribbean, what about those who have been influenced by the Caribbean? For today’s selection, we check out US band Bad Brains, and their track, “Leaving Babylon“.

“Leaving Babylon” was produced by Jay Dublee, and performed by original Bad Brains band members H.R., Dr. Know, Darryl Jenifer, and Earl Hudson. It was released through the ROIR (Reach Out International Records) label in 1982. Though Bad Brains originally started out as a Punk Rock band, they also tapped into the Reggae sound thanks to seeing Bob Marley perform live in their home base of Washington D.C., H.R.’s Jamaican background, and leaning into the Rastafarian faith and culture. “Leaving Babylon” was one of their Reggae releases, and it not only featured the Reggae sound, but shared lyrics about escaping the society that left people destitute, dealt with phony Politicians, and seeking a better place as nothing will change from where they’re coming from. It also sampled the Bass line from The Royals’ 1968 single, “Pick Up The Pieces“.

“Leaving Babylon” was featured on Bad Brains’ self-titled debut studio album, and quickly won over listeners. It was covered by the likes of Sublime, Jesse Malin, and 311. Their debut album is one of the most groundbreaking releases for the hardcore scene, with many Artists citing it as one of the greatest ever. Bad Brains is widely considered the pioneers of Hardcore Punk Rock, and along with fusing Reggae into the Rock scene, they paved the way for many bands to follow. Since the release of “Leaving Babylon”, they have released more albums, went through a number of breakups and reunions, and are still active today. Reggae Artist Jesse Royal briefly joined the band in 2015. “Leaving Babylon” is still a favourite for many listeners of Bad Brains.

Thank You Bad Brains For This Track!

Damian Marley "My Sweet Lord" on 13thStreetPromotions.com #Jamaica #UK #Reggae #Music #13thStreetPromotions #DamianMarley #JuniorGong #DamianJuniorGongMarley #GeorgeHarrison #MySweetLord #CoverSong #Caribbean #TheBeatles #BobMarley

.@DamianMarley Covers The @GeorgeHarrison Classic, “My Sweet Lord”

Posted on by swadedavillain

When it comes to the “Marley” name, it has transcended generations. Damian “Junior Gong” Marley has faithfully carried on the legacy of his father Bob Marley, and created his own legacy that will be carried on by his offspring. For his latest release, he has tapped into another name that has contributed to another name that transcended generations. Marley steps out with “My Sweet Lord“.

The self-produced “My Sweet Lord” is Damian Marley’s Reggae cover of the 1970 classic that was performed by the late George Harrison. Harrison was a former member of the Iconic Rock band, The Beatles, and “My Sweet Lord” was his debut release as a solo Artist. It was also the first #1 song to be released by a ex-Beatle. Marley shared his love of the track recently, and was unaware that his father had crossed paths with the Rock band during their heyday. Marley didn’t do anything extra with the track, just lent his voice, bringing together fans of Junior Gong, Bob Marley, George Harrison, and The Beatles together. Hallelujah!

OLDIES SUNDAY: Richie Stephens – Come To Jamaica (2007)

Posted on by swadedavillain

It’s Independence Day in Jamaica, and we celebrate Jamaica 61 on “Oldies Sunday“! This year we get two days of Independence celebrations, and we urge our readers to be safe on the road. Today’s selection comes from Richie Stephens with the track, “Come To Jamaica“.

Co-Produced with Danny Browne and released on the Pot Of Gold label in 2007, “Come To Jamaica” is one of the unofficial anthems of Jamaica by Richie Stephens. Throughout the track, Stephens is inviting outsiders to come and experience the Island, and all that it has to offer. With a great vocal delivery and a backup that help to steer this performance in the right place, “Come To Jamaica” instantly became a hit for Stephens. He had a track record of highlighting Jamaica in the best way through song, and this track was just another addition to the lineup. “Come To Jamaica” was featured on the 2008 album of the same name. The song was also remixed for CVM TV to promote their channel (“Looking in, looking out, looking even better…“).

Since the release of “Come To Jamaica”, Richie Stephens continued to have a music career that was already legendary. “Come To Jamaica” remains a favourite for many.

Thank You Richie Stephens For This Hit!
