Hey, I'm looking to listen to some reggae music, and if its cool, buy thier vinyl to spin. I'm looking for Eek A Mouse type sound... i like his voice and style and the beats are good, not looking for that elephant man type reggae (dont know names of different types of reggae).. dont even know if this makes sense to anyone, but if so.. can u recommend me to some artists like that so i can check them out thanks

Sister Carol
Sometimes she sounds kinda like a female Eek A Mouse to me. "Black Cinderella" is a nice album.

if you like eek-a-mouse, try checking out artist like josey wales, yellowman, barrington levy, junior reid, frankie paul, sister nancy, tenor saw...

by the way elephant man is a "dancehall" artist, he touches nothing close to roots. other dancehall artists include: sean paul, wayne wonder, sizzla, capleton, beanie man and bounty killer..

Have any of you heard of a guy named Bob Marley. I think he makes alright reggae.

[Ca2woAz]
