Wailing Souls release their new album, Back A Yard. Produced in Jamaica by Alborosie with Roots Radics Flabba Holt, the album marks a welcome return to the Greensleeves label for the Wailing Souls.
For Back A Yard, the group’s 25th album, Alborosie re-imagined a late-80s sound that hearkens to the Souls’ albums for Delroy Wright’s Live & Learn label, a time when the syndrum was at the forefront of reggae production.
The concise, 11-song album features the group’s two longstanding, charter members, Winston “Pipe” Matthews and Lloyd “Bread” McDonald, ‘back a yard’ (patois for ‘back in Jamaica’) in the studio with production from next generation reggae singer Alborosie. The production features all-star musicians including keyboardist Tyrone Downie (formerly of The Wailers) and bassist Errol “Flabba” Holt of the Roots Radics, who backed Wailing Souls on several of their key releases in the 1980s. Alborosie’s deep study of Jamaican music was heavily influenced by the Souls and their heyday at Channel One studio in the 80s.
