Despair, Redemption, Legacy, Family and Keeping Going with Jah Wobble (Public Image Ltd, Invaders of the Heart, etc.)

from Four Strings and the Truth · host Sandy Smallens

Generous with his time, expansive with his bass playing, and one of the funniest people I've ever spoken with, Jah Wobble sits down with a couple of his favorite basses to discuss the gestalt of his 45 plus years as a bass man and band leader. Musical instigator for the first (and best) couple of albums by John Lydon's post-Sex Pistols combo Public Image Ltd, Jah has gone on to create a massive and impossible-to-classify body of work in the ensuing decades. He's coming back to these shores for a few dates this summer to revisit PiL's most lasting document, Metal Box, reinterpreting it for a new era with his long-time bandmates. If they're coming anywhere near you, you'd be crazy not to go!
