.@CrisCab Returns With @BobMarley’s “Is This Love” Cover


We’ve often said on here that Caribbean music hits different. Jamaican music is the vibe, and we know its effects when it touches people around the world. The Island is home to the legendary Bob Marley, and his music has inspired so much. One of the persons to be affected by his music is Miami-based Recording Artist/Musician Cris Cab. He first emerged on the scene in 2011, and scored an International hit in 2013 with “Liar, Liar“. He decided to go on a hiatus for some time, but recently returned to the scene with a special release. He presents his cover of Bob Marley’s classic, “Is This Love“.

With a Music Video directed by Andrew and Daniel Terry, Cris Cab takes it to the seashore and the Studio for his “Is This Love” cover. Armed with his Guitar, Cab delivers in the best way he knows to do the iconic song justice. “Is This Love” was originally performed by Bob Marley & The Wailers and released in 1978. The track was featured on the “Kaya” album, and later the “Legend” compilation album. It was certified Gold and Platinum in a number of countries, and was also covered by the likes of Rihanna, Carly Simon, Adam Lambert, and Corrine Bailey Rae, who won a GRAMMY for it in 2012. It was also sampled by Outkast, James Blunt, Toosii, and Prince among others. Cris Cab returns to music in fine style.

OLDIES SUNDAY: Aston “Family Man” Barrett – Soul Constitution (1971)


Before we start off today’s Oldies Sunday, we want to send our condolences to the families of the late Alan Magnus, and the late Aston “Family Man” Barrett who made their transitions over the weekend. May their legacies live on.

On Oldies Sunday, we’ve highlighted many who have made the music we love. From Vocalists to Musicians, they have provided sounds and vibes beyond our imaginations, scoring hits, and faves in the process. Today, we highlight a Musician who was the backbone of a few important Bands in Jamaican Music. His name is Aston Barrett, many know him as “Family Man” Barrett, and we highlight his track, “Soul Constitution“.

Arranged by Aston Barrett and featuring Musician Glen Adams, “Soul Constitution” was released through the Star Apple label in 1971. The Instrumental track features Aston’s signature basslines, backing by additional Instruments, and a soulful vibe throughout that could easily be the theme music for a TV show. “Soul Constitution” was one of Barrett’s many productions, and was re-issued in 2016, and included in his 2016 album of the same name. It was also sampled on the 2007 track “Engine Running” by Hip Hop Artists Talib Kweli and Consequence, and Producer Madlib.

Aston “Family Man” Barrett was a member of Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Hippy Boys with Lloyd Charmers, the Barrett Brothers with his Brother Carlton, and The Upsetters with the late Lee “Scratch” Perry. He was a Producer who co-produced, engineered, and played on albums by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Judy Mowatt, Burning Spear, Keith Hudson, Augustus Pablo, Max Romeo, and many others including his own albums. He has been celebrated by many, and was recognized by legendary Musicians/Artists/Publications, and was awarded the Order of Distinction in 2021 during Jamaica’s National Honours and Awards. He was also highlighted in the upcoming “Bob Marley: One Love” Film played by his son, Aston Barrett Jr. Aston “Family Man” Barrett passed away on February 3, 2024, but left behind a legacy that will span generations, and like his nickname, a large family both biological and social.

Thank you Aston Barrett For Your Works. Sleep Well.
