Moore, G.t. -and The Reggae Guitars-
G.t. Moore And The Reggae Guitars
50th anniversary reissue of the ground-breaking set, originally released on Charisma in 1974. A record that at the time straddled the world between ub Rock scene and the then seemingly new sound of reggae music, at least to UK years. Released hot-on-the-heels of the Wailers Catch a Fire and Burnin when "reggae fever" was starting to take root in the UK. G.T. Moore had previously been part of the legendary folk group Heron, before becoming the first white musician to make any serious attempt to make authentic reggae. The eponymously titled debut set from the Reggae Guitars featured session musician John Rabbit (who has worked with Wailers, Free and The Who) and was mixed by Tom Platt who engineered the Catch a Fire album. The set mostly consists of originals with the exception of covers of tracks by Bob Dylan, Heptones and Diana Ross.
