OLIVE GREEN VINYL – Indies Only

Indies exclusive LP is on ‘OLIVE GREEN’ coloured

vinyl. The highly anticipated new full length from the

reggae legends Toots and the Maytals, their first

album of original music in over ten yeas.

Frederick “Toots” Hibbert formed the first iteration

of the Maytals in 1962. A mainstay of Jamaica’s ska

and rocksteady scenes, Toots expanded the world’s

 musical vocabulary with his first global hit, 1968’s

“Do the Reggay”. Over the course of the band’s

nearly six-decade career, the Maytals have gone

through a number of lineups and explored a wide

variety of genres, with the one constant being Toot’s

smoky, expressive vocals.

The new single “Got to Be Tough” has all of the

classic reggae benchmarks, including offbeat

rhythms and urgent, staccato chords. It also

continues Toots’ longstanding interest in social

justice. “Your days are getting shorter, ooh,” he

sings, “Our youths are getting slaughtered, yeah.”

Yet the message remains, if not exactly sunny, then

at least optimistic. “Things may be hard — so hard

— but we have to overcome it,” he croons matter-of-

factly, as if it’s going to happen because there isn’t

an alternative.
