The Original Wailers’ new album “Miracle” was released through MRG Recordings on April 10, 2012, and we have a new Al Anderson interview to go with it!

Al Anderson is the sole original member of the Wailer’s classic 70’s line-up in The Original Wailers.  The reformed configuration includes Desi Hyson (Vocals/Keyboards), Steve Samuels (Bass Guitar), Paapa Nyarkoh (Drums) and Marty Batista (Keyboards and Organ) that carry forward the true spirit and realities of the original music and the message of “One Love”.

According to Anderson, his main ambition is to promote The Original Wailers’ new EP Miracle. Their live performances will include songs from this EP as well as classics of the past including songs from Legend. Four songs from the album are penned by singer & keyboardist, Desi Hyson.  Backup-singer Erica Newell, formerly of the Melody Makers sings on the cover of Our Day Will Come.

Miracle is reminiscent to the the words, sound and power of the original three: Peter Tosh, Bob Marley and Bunny Wailer.  The album was done live in real time, with no drum machines, to keep the spirit of the music original and alive. As Al has stated, “When we got together in 1974 at the National Arena in Jamaica, it made an impact on my life musically to date and being part of those three original Wailers left me the standard of their musical genius.”
