Freddie McGregor is one of my favorite vocalists ever. Though I’m not a huge fan of the stuff he did with RAS, his work at Studio One and with the High Times label is most impressive. True reggae roots at its finest.

Here are several rare, unreleased photos of Freddie McGregor given to me by Doctor Dread.




Rootsy Freddie is very underrated. His path to the more Lovers Rock side has been on par for what you’d expect.
I agree about RAS, but would be curious if RAS applied any pressure to go more mainstream and pop?
However, There are many good cuts from RAS albums….could we see a third installment of this mix?
