For the uninitiated, Lee “Scratch” Perry is one of the most important figures in the history of reggae music. Not only did he help develop the early reggae sound captured in a number of important recordings, but as an engineer, producer, songwriter, and performer he pioneered a number of innovations, including the sonic tape experimentations of dub. Lee has worked with many of my favorite artists including acts as diverse as The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Massive Attack, The Orb, and of course more traditional reggae artists like Mad Professor, Bob Marley, Scientist, King Tubby, and more.
