Toots & The Maytals plays Tuesday, July 7 at the Water Street Music Hall.
Sprung in 1962 from the legendary Studio One in Kingston, Jamaica, Toots & The Maytals is one of the few original reggae bands left. The band first gained island-wide praise for its blend of Jamaican rhythms and gospel singing, or "spiritual ska" as some came to call it. By 1975 the band was on Island Records and was touring the world. The band holds the record for the most No. 1 hits in Jamaica (31). Toots & The band has been on-again, off-again since the early 80's, but seems to be back in earnest this time with new album "True Love," which sports a list of guests like Keith Richards, Ben Harper, Ryan Adams, No Doubt, and Eric Clapton.
