Story of Carlton Barrett | The Drummer & Backbone of Bob Marley & The Wailers 

It's actually Junior Marvin introducing the players on that album.

@@rogermansour6085 Wow thanks for sharing this piece of history sir

Carlton Barrett's widow, Albertine Barrett, was subsequently jailed on 18 October 1991, after being convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. Sentenced with her were taxi driver Glenroy Carter, 39, her reputed lover, and Junior "Bang" Neil, 39, a mason, who the prosecution alleged was responsible for the actual shooting

@@zn12914 Yes I. You inspired this one. Thanks for recommending it ✌️

What about Tinleg? I think his syncopation between snare and kick is even better than Carly. Most people confuse Tinleg's songs with Carly because Pablo put Barrett on the liner notes of the album. King Tubby Meets Rockers uptown is mostly Tinleg. The this is Augustus Pablo album is pretty much all Tinleg except Pablo In Dub, I think that may be Barrett. Carley had the hi hat mastered though. One of the only drummers of any style to make up his own hi hat patterns.

Selah

That track is actually played by little known drummer and just as underrated Lloyd Tinleg Adams.

@@OneDrop504 Actually I heard that claim from Addis Pablo, son of Augustus Pablo. However, that contradicts every discography/sessionography I've ever read. Until somebody can conclusively prove otherwise, I gotta give credit to Carlton. The cat who can shed light on this would be guitarist Chinna Smith who was on the session. I'll reach out online and see if he'll set the record straight as to who was on drums...

@@rjlohr Addis would say that because Pablo or Chinna told him. Addis plays tributes to his dad with Chinna. I correspond with someone who opened for Pablo, and he said Pablo said the same thing, that a LOT of those tracks were Tinleg. Check out my videos. I've been studying those two drummers for years. I can tell because there is a distinct difference. Carlton's thing was incorporating complicated hi hat patterns into his bass and snare syncopation. Tinleg was pretty straight ahead on the hi hat most of the time or he would do straight triplets. but his syncopation between bass and snare was unparalleled. Tinleg's open hats are out of left field, and his fills are different. Also, WAY more kick drum use with Tinleg. Listen to Baby I Love You So then listen to Auntie Lu Lu by Junior Byles. Some of the same fills in both songs, and that's Tinleg on Auntie LuLu. Also, check the credits for Who Say Jah No Dread by Jacob Miller, which is all the same tracks from King Tubby Meets the Rockers Uptown, they credit Tinleg and Barrett. Barrett did play Stop Them Jah and another one or two, but the rest is Tinleg. The Barretts were known as Marley's rhythm section and he was becoming an international star at that time. It was better for Pablo to credit them for sales.

@@OneDrop504 you could very well be right. Thanks for the informed input...will check out the Junior Byles cut per your suggestion. I'm big on giving credit where credit is due, especially for drum work on that level. Addis told me that Familyman played bass on "Stop Them Jah" and that Robbie played bass on "Cassava Piece", "Baby I Love You So" and "King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown". The credits on the album list both Familyman & Robbie...always nice to actually know who played on what cut...if Chinna gets back to me, I'll post his reply...

@@tb22k Is your surname Barrett?

@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety yes

I’ve noticed that in Reggae music in particular, there isn’t usually a distinction made between the writer of the music, the lyricist, and the arranger. The finished product is usually a collaborative effort with many contributors never receiving any credit. But I won’t pick on Reggae music in this regard, because it occurs in other genres as well. I recall that Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones wasn’t happy that Mick Jagger & Keith Richards gave him no songwriting credits for his contributions (original compositions) to certain tracks. And does anyone truly believe that in his decade with The Beatles, that George Harrison never created a riff or maybe even an entire solo on some tracks that are solely credited to Lennon-McCartney? It can be really frustrating if you create a piece of music that is then used on a hit song, and you keep hearing that smash hit over and over but you receive no recognition nor financial compensation for your creation.

@@user-io8ss3zd4s Great suggestion 👍 Will work on it soonest

@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Thanks in advance

@@ReggaeAppreciationSociety Keith Hudson "Pick a Dub" album is up there. The Barretts played on every track. But also, Carlton only played on a couple of tracks on King Tubby Meet the Rockers Uptown. Pablo mainly used Lloyd Tinleg Adams on that early stuff. Baby I Love You So is Tinleg on drums.
