Laid Back - Sunshine Reggae (Dub Version)

From what was once a dream inspired by close friends, to humble beginnings filled with living room jams, late nights writing songs in the garage and backyard house parties San Diego-based reggae/rock band Through the Roots was born. In early 2008, Evan Hawkins and Taylor Boatwright met at a local guitar center. It was there that Evan shared his vision with Taylor, which eventually led to the beginning of TTR. Evan and Taylor came from different musical backgrounds but both were very moved by reggae. They believed TTR would provide them with the perfect vehicle to spread their message and adopted a Cali reggae/rock concept. In late 2008, Through the Roots added Brady O'Rear who brought his own musical tastes, complete with Hawaiian Islands reggae, and mixed them with those of Evan's and Taylor's to give TTR a broader range of ideas and influences to draw from. The band eventually added Corrick Watson (lead guitar/vocals) and Budda Foster (bassist/keys) to the talented, five-man mix. With the band set, Through the Roots looks forward to continue spreading its positive messages and showcasing its high energy shows to a growing legion of fans.

Just look at that vehicle. It suits perfectly this re-issued album of library jams from the mid '70s. The theme is super smooth soul and West Coast funk with lashings of sax and brass over funky bass and drums. Written and played by key library music composers of the era the album is a sunshine-y blast of laid back funk and soul. Re-issued from the original masters with carefully re-produced sleeves. 041b061a72
