Barrington Levy joins us as the special guest this week, so we get kicked off with some of his classics, including My Bible, Englishman, and Dances are changing.  After the interview, we check out his new tune Gangsters, leading us into more new music from Etana, Gyptian and Lukie D.  Next we get into a gospel reggae set, with tunes from Sherwin Gardner, Eddie Neblett, Positive, and Jason Mighty.  Closing out the show are some especially dread tunes from Luciano and Osmond Collins.  Check the gospel vibe of this show – this is what I love about reggae music!  Come see Barrington Levy alongside Mighty Mystic this Sunday night (2/27) at Club Metronome in Burlington.

Thanks for tuning in and keep Jah in your heart every day.
EACH ONE TEACH ONE.

Duane Stephenson joins us as the special guest on this weeeks edition of Jah Works Radio.  He is playing locally in Killington at the Pickle Barrel next Wed.

We start off this week’s show, though, with a couple classic tunes from Bob Marley and The Wailers – getting everyone excited for next week’s show.  We move into some blazing hot riddims from 2011 – featuring artists like Da Professor, Richie Spice, Vybz Kartel, Pressure, Queen Omega and more.  Other highlights of this weeks show include tunes from Cultural Roots, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Alpha Blondy, Burning Spear, and a triple play of Freddie McGregor.  Also featured in this weeks show is the beautiful new tune from The Wailers with Duane Stephenson “A Step for Mankind” – with all proceeds benefiting the United Nations Food Program.

Come out this Friday night to Nectars in Burlington to see a wicked show from Mighty Mystic and crew.  I saw Mystic this summer perform at the VT Reggae Festival in Johnson (Big up Jose!), and he really put on a great high energy show.  I hope to see the massive out there this Friday!

Jah Works Radio 12/10/10 w/ special guest Wayne Wonder

Posted in Downloads, Interviews, Radio Shows with tags , , , , , , , , on December 11, 2010 by jahworksradio

Wayne Wonder joins us as the special guest on this week’s edition of Jah Works Radio.  During the interview, we discuss his early days living in Rae Town, what it was like cutting his first singles with King Tubby, his new single “If I ever”, and much more.  Listen to the interview at about the half hour mark of the show. 

Two hot riddims from 2010 (“City Life” and Ghetto Steam”) start out the show this week, with big tunes from Queen Ifrica, Natel, and Ras Myrdak among others.  Soon after, the spotlight is on Wayne Wonder as he joins us for an exclusive interview.  All the talk about the old days of niceness in the dancehall inspires an old school dancehall set soon after the Wayne Wonder interview, featuring artists like Lloyd Hemmings, Sugar Minott, Johnny Osbourne, and Al Campbell.  The last set of the show is straight ROOTS with wicked cuts from Jacob Miller, Prince Irey, Pat Kelly, and Jimmy Cliff ends the show with his beautiful “Sitting in limbo”.  

This is the official end of the show at midnight, BUT I decided to go late night style and take it a bit longer.  The rest of the show is straight vibes with no talking.  The last 45 minutes of the show probably features the most crucial set of the show, but you won’t find the playlist for this.  Just check it – trust me!
