overview
Three years in the making, the 'Fathers of Reggae' project is UB40 returning to their roots & taking a back seat whilst original legends from the reggae industry take turns behind the mic. The resultant set is fourteen UB40 tracks with the band themselves as backing band & array of stars giving their own interpretations. Furthermore, the final mixing of the album was done by some of the hottest producers & engineers in Jamaican music right now. Sly & Robbie, Danny Brownie, Steely & Clevie, Fatta & Bulby were all involved adding a final sheen of authenticity to the project. 2002.
