1	Fire House Rock (1980) more music like this by Wailing Souls Talk about a triple threat: first you have the (by this point well-established and effortlessly professional) Wailing Souls, one of the greatest of the cultural harmony groups; then you have the Roots Radics, the studio band that almost single-handedly defined the new dancehall reggae sound in the early '80s; and to make everything perfect, you ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
2	Firehouse Rock [2001] (2001) more music like this by Wailing Souls Talk about a triple threat: first you have the (by this point well-established and effortlessly professional) Wailing Souls, one of the greatest of the cultural harmony groups; then you have the Roots Radics, the studio band that almost single-handedly defined the new dancehall reggae sound in the early '80s; and to make everything perfect, you ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $12.48!
3	All Over the World (1992) more music like this by Wailing Souls Having signed to the Columbia subsidiary Chaos, the Wailing Souls were now ready to conquer America, and launch themselves all over the world. However, the title track, which opens the album, was guaranteed to send their old roots fans running for cover. A funky disco monster, it's hard to believe this is the same group that gave us "Bredda ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
4	Fire on the Mountain: Reggae Celebrates the Grateful Dead (1996) more music like this by Various Artists It must have seemed a bright idea at first, mixing the Dead with some of the more hallucinatory reggae performers, but the end result is a bit too mediocre to pass muster, with more than a few of the artists indicating almost no knowledge of the Dead in their liner notes -- David Hinds of Steel Pulse gives the strong impression that he only picked ... see all copies from $27.00! new only from $129.95!
5	Reggae Greats: Strictly for Rockers (1985) more music like this by Various Artists Here is another well-done overview, this time for "rockers" artists. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $12.99!
6	Live On (1994) more music like this by Wailing Souls When Live On was released by the Wailing Souls (Winston "Pipe" Matthews and Lloyd "Bread" McDonald) in 1994, many longtime fans of the Jamaican roots duo felt it was too commercial, too far to the pop side of things, and the album was roundly criticized at the time. In retrospect, it would appear that the Souls may have been about a decade ahead ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
7	Reggae Blitz: All-Stars (2000) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $2.99! new only from $3.60!
8	If I Were You [CD/Vinyl Single] (1992) more music like this by Wailing Souls see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
9	Most Wanted: Classic Cuts 1978-1984 (2007) more music like this by Wailing Souls Greensleeves' 2007 release Most Wanted: Classic Cuts 1978-1984 isn't the definitive Wailing Souls compilation, but with the band's discography sprawling across labels, decades, and many flavors of reggae, a one-disc wrap-up is a bit too much to ask. Most Wanted focuses on the transitional years of 1978-1984, just missing their seminal 1977 hit ... see all copies from $12.48! new only from $12.48!
10	Face the Devil (1995) more music like this by Wailing Souls One of a string of solid early-'80s collaborations between the best vocal group around (Wailing Souls) and the best group of instrumentalists (Roots Radics), Face the Devil also boasted the production work of Linval Thompson and mixing by King Tubby. Though not in the same league as a classic like Firehouse Rock, this session balanced vocal ... see all copies from $10.64! new only from $10.64!
11	Shark Attack [Single] (1992) more music like this by Wailing Souls see all copies from $1.99!
12	Channel One - Hit Bound: The Revolutionary Sound (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Launched in 1973 by brothers Ernest and Joseph Hookim (they also engineered and produced), Channel One became one of the key studios during the roots, rockers, and early dancehall years. Using the Hookims' ace studio band, the Revolutionaries -- Sly & Robbie, organist Ansel Collins, tenor saxophonist Tommy McCook, et al. -- producer Bunny Lee cut ... see all copies from $6.18! new only from $16.37!
13 view cover	On the Rocks (1997) more music like this by Wailing Souls This is the third album that the Wailing Souls cut with the Roots Radics, following Firehouse Rock and Inchpinchers. The first two were overseen by Junjo Lawes, On the Rocks the Souls produced themselves, and the result is an absolute delight. Stylistically the differences are slight, Lawes who currently ruled the sound systems preferred a heavier ... see all copies from $14.74! new only from $14.74!
14 view cover	Reggae on the River, Pt. 1 [Single Disc] (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Reggae on the River, Pt. 1 includes a range of Jamaican as well as African artists, including Luckey Dub, Angelique Kidjo, Baaba Maal, Third World, Wailing Souls, and Jimmy Cliff. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99!
15 view cover	The Wailing Souls at Channel One: Sevens, Twelves and Versions (2004) more music like this by Wailing Souls Pressure Sounds is geared towards recovering Jamaican roots rarities and Wailing Souls at Channel One fits that bill. There is a lot of high-quality music here, but it's better for collectors and completists nosing around the fringes for Wailing Souls' alternates and oddities than initiates looking to get core essentials. Only ten of the 16 tracks ... see all copies from $16.26! new only from $16.26!
16 view cover	Inchpinchers (1996) more music like this by Wailing Souls The Firehouse Rock album would go down in history as the Wailing Souls' masterpiece, Inchpinchers was its follow-up, and of equally high caliber. Both sets were produced by Junjo Lawes and backed by the Roots Radics, a brilliant amalgamation of roots sensibilities and sound system rhythms. Compared to say The Revolutionaries, the Radics boasted a ... see all copies from $19.58! new only from $19.58!

18 view cover	Reggae Rhythms of Love, Vol. 2 (2001) more music like this by Various Artists Following the success of the initial volume in the Reggae Rhythms of Love series, the Artists Only! label followed with a second, similar volume featuring many of the same performers found on the first volume. Featured performances include Gregory Isaacs' "Turn Down the Lights," Yellowman's "Lean on Me, Pt. 2," Cocoa Tea's "Young Lover," and ... see all copies from $4.95! new only from $6.48!
19 view cover	Kingston 14 (1987) more music like this by Wailing Souls The Wailing Souls belong in any short list of great reggae vocal groups, especially in terms of harmonies and songwriting. The compositions on this '87 set are uniformly gripping, finely writtten and exquisitely performed, despite the fact Winston Matthews, Lloyd McDonald and Devon Bedford are all complementary singers rather than spectacular ... see all copies from $12.75!
20 view cover	Putumayo Presents Best of Reggae (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Putumayo Presents has added to its long string of hit collections with The Best of World Music: Reggae. This collection pulls together 14 different artists who hold to reggae's premise of freedom with justice. Among the excellent torch bearers here are Dennis Brown, once thought to have been the Bob Marley replacement; The Wailing Souls, who also ... see all copies from $15.89!

23 view cover	The Very Best of the Wailing Souls (1990) more music like this by Wailing Souls Inevitably, you're going to get an argument from fans when you call your compilation The Very Best of the Wailing Souls and leave out such classics as "Very Well," "Back Out," "Feel the Spirit," and many more besides. But there's no pleasing some people, and there's obviously more to the Souls' sound than their seminal recordings for Channel One, ... see all copies from $16.21! new only from $16.21!
24 view cover	Can't Stop Us Now: Linval Thompson Productions (2002) more music like this by Various Artists As the roots and culture period of the 1970s was slowly giving way to the dancehall juggernaut that would dominate reggae music for the next two decades, there were few producers quite as influential as Linval Thompson. In a real sense, he presided over the roots-to- dancehall transition, overseeing crucial recordings of the period by such artists ... see all copies from $12.75! new only from $12.75!
