The Boss Harmony Sessions

Top, fast neuwertig

From their debut 1996 release, "Better Late Than Never" on Moon Ska, via 6 albums for Tim Armstrong's Hellcat Records, through to this album "Boss Harmony Sessions" (the first album issued on Pama International's Rockers Revolt imprint), the NYC-based band, The Slackers have established themselves globally as America's premiere interpreters of Jamaican music. They complete the circle of that American R'n'B inspired hybrid known as "Ska" that became popular in 1960's Jamaica, bringing it back to the USA and re-acquainting it with its Jazz, Blues, and Rock N' Roll cousins. The Slackers have headlined countless US and European tours as well as supporting Rancid, Joe Strummer, Floggin Molly, Jimmy Cliff, Pennywise, Toots & the Maytals, The Pogues and John Spencer's Heavy Traffic creating a huge following in the process.
