Details:
The Belle Islanders started as a recording project involving 3 members of legendary Detroit reggae group Black Market and infamous Detroit rocker/vocalist Dave Edwards of The Look ("We''re Gonna Rock") in 2005. Inspired by a 1970''s reggae compilation "FEELIN'' HIGH", Dave and musician/producer Bob Monteleone (of Luck and Trouble)decided to lay down their own versions of some of their favorite songs from the obscure comp including "Feelin'' High", "Country Living", "A-So" and "I Man Bitter".
They enlisted the help of Black Market/Raggamuffin rhythm section Mitch Purdy and James Megerian; Jamaican guitarist/keyboardist Brian Silverman & vocalist April Monteleone.
They added a few originals to the mix, including "I''m Gonna Love Ya" and "Soon Come", a Texas Tornados cover "Who Were You Thinkin'' Of" and Bob Marley''s gem, "High Tide Or Low Tide".
The idea was to record some reggae music with the aesthetic of early-mid 1970''s Kingston, before synths & drum machines. Before toasting & dancehall. Just organic, rootsy, soulful reggae music.
