Posted on by swadedavillain

Over the Holiday weekend, the sequel to the popular “Knives Out” Film series was released on Netflix. Titled “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery“, the Film follows master Detective Benoit Blanc (Played by Daniel Craig) as he takes on a new case revolving around a Tech Billionaire, and his old friends. Fans of the previous “Knives Out” gave positive feedback for the new release, and with a heavy soundtrack throughout, a familiar song from a Jamaican Icon was featured.

Featured in an early part of “Glass Onion” was Toots & The Maytals’ “Take Me Home, Country Roads“. Produced by Chris Blackwell and released through Island Records in 1973, the track is a cover of John Denver’s 1971 Gold-selling hit. “Country Roads” was featured on Toots & The Maytals’ 1972 album, “Funky Kingston“. The late Toots Hibbert has had music featured in various Films and TV Shows, and numerous Commercials including a Coors Light Commercial in 2019. Those who are in need of a mystery, check out “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” now on Netflix!

We Look Back At Songs That Sampled @TootsMaytals In Our Latest Playlist!

Posted on by swadedavillain

On September 11, 2020, the world lost a legend named Toots Hibbert. A pioneer in Jamaican music, he has been heralded near and far as the inventor of Reggae. His contributions to music are vast, and he and The Maytals have inspired generations. Up until news of his failing health, he was working on music and performing. Yesterday we paid tribute to him by highlighting the song that gave Reggae its name. Today, we highlight some of the songs that sampled and covered Toots & The Maytals through our latest Playlist.

From Foxy Brown, to Vanilla Ice, to Tone-Loc, to Lucky Dube, to Romain Virgo, you can relive the moments you’ve heard the classic singles, and learn about the music that paid homage to the classics. Frederick Nathaniel Hibbert paved the way for many, and we respect and honour him over here. Thank you for your life, your music, and your energy Toots Hibbert. Walk good!

OLDIES SUNDAY: @TootsMaytals – Do The Reggay (1968)

Posted on by swadedavillain

Today’s Oldies Sunday is dedicated to the late Frederick “Toots” Hibbert. A man who knew a thing or few about longevity, Toots Hibbert is the originator of the genre we know as “Reggae“. A man who inspired generations, created hits, and looked good doing it all, the world was definitely rocked when he made his transition on September 11. As founder and member of The Maytals, today we highlight the selection, “Do The Reggay“.

Produced by Leslie Kong and released through the Beverley’s Records in 1968, “Do The Reggay” was made to accompany a popular dance of the same name. While the song didn’t feature complex lyrics, it provided fun sounds that prompted listeners to get into a groove. Through the release of the single, Toots Hibbert is named as a pioneer of Reggae music as “Do The Reggay” marked a shift from the Ska and Rocksteady eras of music into a new genre of more upbeat sounds, and generations of new artists.

Today, regardless of anything, we just want you to enjoy the music, and remember one of the greatest artists to ever emerge from Jamaica. Rest in Peace Toots Hibbert, and thank you for the classics!

.@TootsMaytals’ “Pressure Drop” Featured In New @CoorsLight Commercial!

Posted on by swadedavillain

When you’ve had a long day on the road or at work, there’s nothing better than coming home to relax. We have many ways to relax, we fall asleep immediately on the couch or bed, we take a bath or shower, or we get some wine or beer. In Beer giant Coors’ latest Commercial for their Light Beer, one woman not only cracks a can of Beer to relax, but she takes off her Bra! While many women can relate to letting the Tatas be free, we recognized the Commercial’s soundtrack, “Pressure Drop” by the legendary Toots & The Maytals! Released in 1969, this was produced by Leslie Kong and featured on the Band’s “Monkey Man” (1970) and “From The Roots” (1973) albums. The song helped Toots & The Maytals gain International recognition as it was featured in the classic Film, “The Harder They Come” (which was recently released on Blu-ray).

A song about revenge, but in the form of Karma, “Pressure Drop” became one of Toots & The Maytals’ most memorable singles, and was included in Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Songs Of All Time” list at #453. It was also featured in the soundtrack for “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas“. Relax and check out the Commercial below, and share with a friend.
