Where it came from
Released in 1988 on Shanachie Records, Roots Radics Rockers Reggae serves as a pivotal retrospective of Bunny Wailer's work during the mid-to-late 1970s. As a founding member of The Wailers alongside Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, Wailer was instrumental in the development of the reggae genre, and this compilation focuses on the roots-oriented material he produced after establishing his Solomonic label. The collection was designed to reintroduce international audiences to his post-Wailers output, emphasizing the spiritual and rhythmic foundations of the Rastafarian-influenced sound he championed.
The album reflects a period where Bunny Wailer transitioned from the group dynamic of The Wailers to a focused solo career centered on cultural and social commentary. By compiling these tracks, Shanachie Records aimed to solidify his legacy as a solo architect of reggae, highlighting his role in maintaining the traditional, roots-conscious style against the backdrop of the more commercialized trends emerging in Jamaica during the 1980s. The release was well-received by critics for its authenticity and for preserving the raw production quality of his original independent recordings.
