My topic for the week is Toots & The Maytals, the legendary reggae group who will be performing here in Richmond on Saturday night. More information about the gig is here:
http://www.dominionriverrock.com/music/toots--the-maytals/
I'll spin some of my favorite Toots tunes, a few of the artists who influenced them, many of their peers and contemporaries, some covers of songs written by Toots Hibbert, and much more. Join me if you can -- it's going to be a blast.
Oh, about the photo: that's Toots in 1975 making an in-studio appearance at Cleveland's legendary rock station WMMS, the Buzzard (aka Weed Makes Me Smile). Check out those gnarly rock DJs. And the lady next to Toots -- is that another gnarly DJ in drag? Beats me.
