Horace Andy and Jah Wobble Collaborate on New Album
Renowned reggae artist Horace Andy began his music career in the late 1960s, debuting with the iconic album Skylarking in 1972. In recent years, he has gained fame for his collaborations with the British group Massive Attack, starting in 1990. His distinct voice has featured on several notable tracks, including “Angel” and “Hymn Of The Big Wheel.” Earlier this year, Andy joined Massive Attack for a live performance, and now he has teamed up with post-punk musician Jah Wobble to release a new album of covers.
Introducing Timeless Roots
Jah Wobble, known as the original bassist for Public Image Ltd., has spent decades exploring dub reggae in his solo career and various collaborations. Their new album, Timeless Roots, showcases reggae interpretations of several classic tracks. This collection features Andy’s renditions of “One Love” and “Spying Glass,” songs he recorded with Massive Attack, along with fresh takes on his own classics, “Skylarking” and “Natty Dread A Weh She Want.” The album also includes covers of well-loved pop songs from earlier eras.
Highlighting Timeless Covers
Notably, Andy revives his popular 1973 cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine” on this album. In addition, Timeless Roots features new interpretations of tracks such as America’s “A Horse With No Name,” Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” the Beatles’ “Come Together,” the Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud To Beg,” Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds,” and the Five Stairsteps’ “O-o-h Child.” You can listen to Timeless Roots below.
