Which reggae artists does keith like the best?
As far as I know (some because of colaborations) Toots, Max Romeo, Sly&Robbie, Marley, Peter Tosh...But in a old Spanish rock magazine I read that in 1982 he was deeply interested in Third Wolrd, Black Uhuru.

Right now, do you know if is he interested in current reggae (more related with dance-hall like Sizzla, Luciano, Capleton...)?

Thanks in advance

Keith's got great knowledge of reggae, in the past he had people from Jamica mail him records. Not sure of current reggae acts he listens to but have heard him say that Jimmy Cliff's Harder they Come is one of his favorites. Love to hear some quotes of Keith mentioning reggae artists he likes if anyone has them..

Thought I remember him mentioning Burning Spear in one interview.

Lets just wait a few hours & auld Rockman will put things straight for us

i got that reggae cd or more like folks songs with rastas that keith released 10 years ago or so. i forgot the name.
then there is his version of the "harder they come" which is the flip side of his "run run Rudolph 45" on RS records.
and burning spear is the best!!

Huge Itals fan as well as Big Youth. Itals are f'n amazing. The disc's are hard to find, but well worth the trouble. Keith Porter's solo stuff is very good too.

David ought to mean Wingless Angels.
But thats no reggae cd in my ears; more like chants & such.
Still a great great disc. Highly recommended!!!!!!!!

yeah that one! thanks!
i don't have as much fun with that one compared to brian jones presents the pipes at pan lp!

Wingless is more for relaxing or r & r tobacco smokin'.
Good to sleep to.

Half Pint! The stones covered Winsome (calling it "Too Rude") on Dirty Work.

yeah, the soundtrack of the movie "The Harder They come" was sure one of his favorites. I read once Ronnie speaking of a tour, the 75 TOTA I think, when Keith used to carry with him that LP all the time. He used to play it during his parties in hotel-rooms, and they used to reherse the title track with Keith singing. Again as Ronnie said, that tour became "the harder they come" tour and Keith "Jah Keith".

So I bought the album, and it's really fantastic, there are such raggae hits and hidden gems on it.

Black Uhuru's Shine Eye Gal features Keith on guitar.
He isn't mentioned in the liner notes of the original
LP but I have seen an official 12" single from the
early eighties with his name on it. Great track BTW.
You can easily identify Keith's playing.
