as well as seven dub releases, two various artist sets and an instrumental album on the Catch Me Time label. Author of three books--Roots Rock Reggae published by Billboard Books in 1999, The Small Axe Guide To Rock Steady and Reggae Talks (both published in England by Small Axe/Muzik Tree), he wrote the Reggae Update column for Beat Magazine for two decades, a book review column for Reggae Festival Guide for another ten years, co-hosted The Reggae Beat on KCRW for many years and hosts the long-running show Reggae Central on KPFK in LA.
The Truth gathers a tightly-knit set of players including Rough Sounds' Mike Irwin on bass, Soul Syndicate's Tony Chin on guitar, featured leads from Rex "Mystery Man" Bailey and drum tracks from UK's Horseman on 15 original songs that blend the irie vibe of seventies reggae with contemporary concerns. Like the other musical forms that emerged from Kingston, Jamaica--ska, rock steady, dub and dancehall--roots reggae took on a life of it's own internationally and has long served as a potent musical force around the world. Chuck's music has achieved significant airplay on college and public radio stations across the country and we at Catch Me Time Records give thanks for the dj's, program directors and music lovers who continue to support independent music!
