Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by the masterful production of Bullwackie in New York, Wayne Jarrett delivers an incredibly spiritual, heavily atmospheric roots reggae classic. 'Showcase Vol 1' utilizes deep, cavernous dub basslines and beautiful, highly melodic vocal performances to craft a profoundly mellow, rhythmic, and subtly psychedelic listening experience.
