I just read that Junior Marvin is going back out on tour with Al Anderson and Wya Lindo as “The Original Wailers”. That will be interesting to hear. There have been quite a few different incarnations of The Wailers over the years, and for me, nothing beats the OG band with Bob, Bunny and Peter Tosh at the core. Anyone care to disagree? Has anyone heard the ‘new’ lineup?


For reference:

The Wailers: Bob Marley, Junior Braithwaite, Beverley Kelso, Bunny Wailer, Peter Tosh, Cherry Smith, Carlton Barrett and Aston Barrett.

Bob Marley and The Wailers: Bob Marley, Carlton and Aston Barrett, Junior Marvin, Al Anderson, Tyrone Downie, Wya Lindo and Seeco Patterson.

The Wailers Band: Elan Atias, Aston Barrett, Keith Sterling, Anthony Watson, Audley Chisholm, Chico Chin, Everald Gayle, Brady Walters and Cegee Victory

The Original Wailers: Al Anderson, Wya Lindo and Junior Marvin

I agree. The classic line-up with Bob, Bunny and Peter with the Carlton Bros. is definitely the best, at least on vinyl.

I'd love to hear old school reggae and lovers' rock make a real comeback amidst all the current decadent dancehall and reggaeton mess.

Have you ever seen any incarnation on the Wailers live?

I've never seen The Wailers in any form. Would love to though. Just to be able to see Family Man on bass.

It was all about the original Wailers: Peter, Bunny and Bob are untouchable as a trio. Aside from that incarnation of the band, The Wailers Band put on a really good live show. Check them out if you can.

I've seen Family Man on bass and O-M-G. Best day ever.
