r/reggae, how do we feel about Groundation? 🤔

This question was asked here a while back. I wanted to revisit it. This sub tends to have a lot to say about international and U.S. reggae artists so I'm curious to fan the flames on the dialog of this one. I recently had the chance to see them live for the first time. Hearing of their desire to tour the U.S. more often has me wanting to check the pulse of fans and see what everyone thinks. Harrison and the whole group are incredibly nice and humble individuals.

Slightly Stoopid @ RRU FL 26'

View from FOH booth. Had the pleasure of watching the set with JP (aka Mr. Silverback himself). Talked about how SS brought in 3 additional LED boards and really stepped up the stage lighting and production for this year's tour.

The first “Cali Reggae” track was in 1968?

It was 1968 when American jazz/R&B songwriter Jimmy Norman penned the two songs When The Tide Comes In and Falling fusing psychedelic rock and the island beat. The recording was then overseen by American soul songwriter Johnny Nash. This all happened in Jamaica where it was performed by radio broadcaster Neville Willoughby.

The instrumentation on this record is quite radical compared to the pop early reggae that took hold in the UK. I view it as a precursor to the Cali Reggae sound that emerged later. Any other examples like this come to mind?
