Ep. 10: Dr. Dread - Building the RAS Records Empire (Gregory Isaacs, Steel Pulse & More)

Maximum respect, Native Wayne here on Rebel Rockers, down in beautiful Ocho Rios, Jamaica! It was a serious honour to sit down with a true reggae legend, the great Dr. Dread, founder of the iconic RAS Records. Man, the stories this producer shared covering decades of crucial reggae history! We talked about everything – how he started the label after literally walking across Jamaica, bringing Israel Vibration back together, the absolute genius of artists like Gregory Isaacs, Steel Pulse, and Bunny Wailer (that Blackheart Man album!), the unexpected success of the Reggae For Kids series, and even the time he remixed Bob Dylan featuring Sly & Robbie. If you love reggae and want deep insights from the man who helped shape the sound and bring so many artists to the world, you have to check this reasoning. Yeah man! Learn more about your ad choices.
