ayer estuve viendo el documental de como se hizo el catch a fire de marley ....recomiendo esta serie de dvds .......tambien hay el transformer de lou reed , nirvana nevermind , u2 el un fire , who who s next ., stevie wonder , etc.......
varios puntos cris balckwell lo entrevistan y dice que los wailers eran intratables y por eso decide darles 4 , 000 libras para que graben el disco cath a fire en jamaica .
el disco fue grabado por todos los wailers en un cuarto de dynamic studios y se lo enviaron a blackwell a uk par aque lo mezclara .
marley viajo a londres y le metieron al disco para aisland mas overdubs que no se que , es decir le pusieron clavicordios a lo stevie wonder , guitarras ( fields ) mas rockeros para preparar el disco para las audiencias rockeras y hacer el crossover .
en jamaica se trabajo ocn 8 canales y en londres usaron 16 para meterle muchas cosas mas muy sublimes ojo ............el ingeniero de uk dice que los wailers en ese momento eran un abanda muy solida musicalmente .
en guitarras estuvo wayne perkins el de black n blue de los stones ............muy buenos sus solos por cierto en hand of fate y tal .............en resumen recomiendo ese dvd y cierro con las palabras de bob
cris balckwell fue nuestro traductor para el mundo entero ....................cris mas que feliz con esas palabras ........
saludos
otro dato que no sabia peter tosh , bob marley y bubby wailer ( los 3 wailers del comienzo ) me hacen acordar ese compañerismo inicial de brian , mick y keef viviendo en edith groove .

Could you tell everyone about fulfilling one of your dreams in life.
Well, this goes back to Eric Clapton and Leon Russell and Glynn Johns. My life's dream was to play guitar with the "Biggest Rock N Roll Band in the World" and thanks to those three gentleman, they helped make it come true. I'd worked with Leon for a couple of years and with Glynn on a "Georgie Fame Album" in Tulsa at the Church Studios where we did a lot of recording. Therefore, I had 2 thumbs up from Leon and Glynn. So when
I was in Kingston with Eric and all of my friends from Tulsa, it was mentioned around the breakfast table one morning that Mick Taylor had left the Stones and I asked Eric if they'd found anyone yet and he said "I don't think so". So I said, hey put in a phone call for me" and he did! That's how I ended up on "Black n Blue" and a life's dream came true.called "Catch a Fire". It was in 1
What did you think of the sound of Bob Marley and the Wailers. Also, tell the readers what album(s) you have contributed to and in what capacity.
The name of the "Bob Marley" album I was on was his first one called catch a fire 1972, when I lived in London and was touring with my own group. I ran into Chris Blackwell in the Hallway of Island Records and he asked if I'd like to come downstairs and overdub on some reggae music. I had never heard of it {just like the rest of the world} so I said "sure, what kind of guitar do you want and he said you know that southern rock thing you play" I said all right, just let me know when you need me. Therefore, I went downstairs later on to meet Bob and the Wailers. It was a smoke filled room full of Rasta's and I couldn't find the first beat of this weird music to save my life. Chris said "forget the bass he's a melody guy, the bass drum and snares on the 2 and 4 and the keyboards are on the up beat", does that make it clearer for you? I said "we'll see" but I didn't know if I should catch a bus or build a bomb shelter! Anyway, the first thing they played was "Concrete Jungle" and on about the third take I hit "The Solo". Bob came running out there trying to cram this giant spiff in my mouth and I didn't understand one thing he'd said. I just knew he was pretty happy. The second song was "Stir it Up" and I did that overdub with a great keyboard player friend of mine named John "Rabbit" Bundrick. And we took turns playing the solos. I think we played "Rock it Baby" the same way. Anyway by the end of the night I was "well schooled" in reggae music!
