Comments on: #41 - Joe Gibbs Tribute http://www.rhythmupdate.com/2008/02/27/41-joe-gibbs-tribute/ Reggae music podcast recorded live to disk at the Golden Touch studio Sat, 11 Oct 2008 19:44:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Andy Bassford http://www.rhythmupdate.com/2008/02/27/41-joe-gibbs-tribute/#comment-1357 Andy Bassford Mon, 19 May 2008 17:44:09 +0000 http://www.rhythmupdate.com/2008/02/27/41-joe-gibbs-tribute/#comment-1357 I played on a number of Joe Gibbs productions in the early 80s, and quite frankly, Joe was never in the studio as a producer when I worked there. Not once. (I can't speak about the seventies period as I was not there.) He did pass through occasionally to check on things. The actual production work at that time was done by the late great engineer Errol Thompson (not to be confused with the radio DJ of the same name, also deceased) with assistance from engineer and singer Ruddy Thomas, the great guitarist Willie Lindo, and other musicians and artists around the studio. Joe spent most of his time in Miami overseeing the manufacturing and distribution operations of the label. In the movie industry he would have been considered the executive producer. That being said, the Mighty Two (as Joe and Errol called themselves) were responsible for a lot of great music during a very important period of its development.

I like it alost as much as the "Stars" show you did back in December of 2007. Yeah, a lot of us have heard these songs many times before, but when you assemble them in this way and punctuate it with your commentary and that of the Mad-One, it makes its point articulately: Joe Gibbs was golden and the music of yesteryear was pretty glorious.
