Yabby You - Jesus Dread (1972-1977)


Vivian “Yabby You” Jackson was the founder of the legendary vocal group the Prophets. His trademark sound is perhaps best heard on the compilation Jesus Dread 1972-1977—which contains “Conquering Lion,” said to be the template from which many later reggae masterpieces would draw inspiration. 




Essential listening. Nothing more to say. 2 CDs of pure gold highlighting each of the styles that defined roots reggae, from the man himself. Enjoy.
