Studio One Roots 2 explores rare and classic roots reggae from the legendary Studio One label, featuring seven previously unreleased tracks. Spanning from the 1960s to the 1990s, it showcases the depth of roots and Rastafarian music produced by Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd. Highlights include Dudley Sibbley’s slow ska, Cedric Im Brooks’ jazz instrumentals, classic rhythms like Satta Massagana, and Count Ossie’s Burro drumming with the Zion All Stars. The album features renowned artists like Willie Williams, Tommy McCook, The Gladiators, and Vin Gordon alongside lesser-known talents, all part of Studio One’s rich roots legacy.
