Easy Star All-Stars (w/ Trumystic)
From its inception in 1996, Easy Star Records has been at the forefront of a growing revolution in reggae music. Easy Star evolved from an idea hatched by four friends into a vibrant independent record company that has been called “…one of the most important reggae labels in America today.” [Full Watts, 9/98]
Easy Star has helped to foster this renewed interest in Jamaican music, and can now be rightfully considered one of the leaders in the modern reggae industry.
In February 2003 Easy Star released the now classic Dub Side of the Moon project, which is a song-by-song reggae recreation of the classic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon. The album has sold over 100,000 copies and spent over 200 weeks on the Billboard charts.
