The thing I love most about The Rockpit is that you get the chance to talk to some truly inspirational musicians about the music they make. Some people just have that ‘presence’. Every time I get the chance to talk to Al Anderson I feel inspired: not just because he played with Bob Marley, not just because he brought the Rock to Reggae, not just because he is one of my favourite guitarists but because there is something so inspiring about his words and stories. I always have a great day after talking with Al.
Al is back later this month with The Original Wailers playing the music of Bob Marley and The Wailers and more. It’s a show not to be missed. 2024 is also the 50th Anniversary of the first Bob Marley record Al played on – ‘Natty Dread’ and we take a look at Al’s memories of that album, there’s tales of Koss and Ronnie, and of course a whole lot more…
