Essential Artist Collection
Led by the dynamic Frederick âTootsâ Hibbert, the Maytals are rightly regarded as one of the greatest singing trios in the history of Jamaican music.
During an incredible recording career that spanned six decades, the group scored hit after hit on the islandâs music charts, with their inimitable, unique blend of fervent gospel and down-home country seemingly impervious to changes in styles and fashion.
The best of their work, however, is widely regarded to be their rock steady and early reggae recordings for Leslie Kongâs revered Beverleyâs Records during the late Sixties and early Seventies; a period that spawned groundbreaking work such as â54-46â, âMonkey Manâ and âDo the Reggayâ, to name but a few.
The Essential Artist Collection brings together the very best of their output from this period, including the above tracks, along with numerous other classics, such as âSweet And Dandyâ, âPressure Dropâ and âNight And Dayâ.
