Biography

Amid the numerous bands that made the '70s such a golden age for reggae, with the blossoming of both roots and dub styles, the Ring Craft Posse stand tall, alongside other such luminous bands as the Aggrovators, the Revolutionaries, the Upsetters, and the Roots Radics. The band backed Rodguel "Blackbeard" Sinclair for a long and illustrious stretch of time, from roughly the early '70s until the mid-'80s, and recorded a wealth of tracks at his Mr . Tipsy studio. In particular, the Moll-Selekta label has subsequently remastered and released quite an array of excellent music featuring the Ring Craft Posse and Blackbeard, including such collections as Don't Give Up Your Culture (2003) and St. Catherine in Dub 1972-1984 (2004). There are, of course, myriad other recordings featuring the Posse, though it's quite a hunt sometimes to track down particular recordings -- or even discover them in the first place, for that matter. Definitely a band to look for if you're into '70s roots-dub reggae, the Ring Craft Posse are comprised of drummers Sly Dunbar and Mickey "Bo" Richards, bassists Robbie Shakespeare and Lloyd Parks, keyboard/organ/pianists Winston Wright, Ansel Collins, Herbert Herbie Harris, and Robbie Lyn, guitarists Willie Lindo, Winston Bope Browne, and Dwight Pinkney, and a horn section including Bobby Ellis, Roland Robinson, Dean Fraser, and David Madden. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
