▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ Notes And Comments About The Release ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Who is 10 Ft. Ganja Plant? They are a dub & roots reggae band
shrouded in mystery. They hail from the great Northeast and are
rumored to share members with another great reggae group, John
BrownÆs Body. Their shows are rarely announced or promoted. In fact,
like a yeti sighting, they seldom occur. Anyone who has seen them
live, or owns one of their albums, can attest to the fact that no
other band has captured the 70Æs spirit quite like this crew, that
10 Ft. may be the best roots group in America.
Bass Chalice is 10 Ft. Ganja PlantÆs third release on ROIR. Their
first, entitled Hillside Airstrip, and second, Midnight Landing,
were both uniformly hailed by the music press. This time around,
things are a bit different. First off, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant will be
touring! Before this, the only chance anyone had to see them live
was at an impromptu show, usually in the Boston area. There have
only been a handful of these gigs and their frenzied, sweaty nature
has left audiences clamoring for more. In early 2006, they will get
itù10 Ft. Ganja PlantÆs first ever tour!
Beyond this, Bass Chalice sees 10 Ft. stripping away a bit of the
mystery surrounding the bandÆs lineup and actually letting us
disclose a very special guest appearance by the legendary æ70s
Jamaican vocal reggae group The Meditations! Their first two albums,
Message from the Meditations and Wake Up are downright, stone-cold
reggae classics that must be heard. On Bass Chalice they grace ôTo
Eachö with a spellbinding vocal performance!
The Meditations are a fitting addition to the album because Bass
Chalice, at its heart, is inspired by the recording processes of the
great Jamaican studio bands of the 70's (and their American
counterparts at Motown and Stax) where a song was typically written,
learned, and recorded live in a single session, with no regrets, and
no apologies. Add to this ethos some dubwise studio mastery and
experimentation and you begin to get the picture. This is good news
for a genre that seems to be gathering steam in recent months. Apart
from big releases on ROIR by Dub Trio, Bush Chemists & Dr. Israel,
other bands have been making their mark on stages around the
country: Matisyahu, Future Pigeon, Dub Nomads, Dub Gabriel, Dub As A
Weapon, Jah Division, and (on a different level) Damian ôJunior
Gongö Marley. Dub & roots reggae is more popular than ever and the
10 Ft. Ganja Plant army is poised to make a big, smoky impression.
Beyond Hillside Airstrip & Midnight Landing, 10 Ft Ganja Plant has
released limited edition vinyl 45Æs, and a classic CD on their own
I-Town imprint titled 10 Ft. Ganja Plant Presents. They are well
known to those ôin the knowö and to the ever-growing clan of JBB
concertgoers.
Besides can you think of a better band name than 10 Ft. Ganja Plant?
I think not.
