The Wailing Wailers

Bob Marley & The Wailers or as they were called at the time, The Wailing Wailers. Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, & Bunny Livingston.



I have a CD titled "Bob Marley Reggea Legend Forever Gold". It has a picture of Bob with Dread Locks on the CD Insert but the music is obviously from the early days when the wailers were more of a vocal group. The CD cover doesn't even list a record company.

It really is some good stuff. Bob does not do all the lead vocals but all the Wailers' back-ups and harmony vocal riffs are really great.

I am happy to see the recognition for KPFT. We are lucky to have a Radio Station that provides Blues Programming and I take my hat off to all the Volenteers that make it possible. Good Job.

KPFT - 90.1 on your fm dial

KPFT has been on the air in Houston now for almost 36 years. It is a true listener sponsored station.

I first started listening because of the Blues shows on Sundays & other music programs during the week also.

It is a Freedom of Speech oriented station and if you listen enough, You will probably here something that you disagree with. That is really what makes it great. There is no corporate sponsorship.


They are currenty having the fund drive and you can make a pledge by calling 713-526-5738 preferably during a show that you like. You can support the blues programs if you call this week on Sunday before 4 pm.

The web site is www.kpft.org If you are not in the Houston area, you can listen live on the interenet also.
