Album Notes

Since their genesis in 2002, THE BIG SOUND has crafted a unique style by blending the vintage sounds of early Jamaican popular music into the contemporary southern California music scene. The result is a mixture of original rocksteady, reggae, dub and ska that brings a fresh take on traditional sounds of the Golden Era of Jamaican music ('66-'73).

THE BIG SOUND independently recorded and released their first album, Stand So Tall, in April 2004. The album has eleven original tracks that bring a breath of fresh air to California reggae. Among other things, the album showcases the band's reverence for the early Jamaican artists like Ken Boothe, Desmond Dekker, John Holt, and many others. Since its release, the band has been playing consistently in San Diego and Los Angeles and are currently working on a 2005 tour schedule and plans for another album.

Great ska CD

I bought this on a whim (The Big Sound was opening for another act I was going to see live and I wanted to know what The Big Fuss was all about) -- and I really enjoyed their CD a lot. If you like modern ska, you'll like The Big Sound.

I got this CD about a week ago and I have been listening to it ever since. It is so beautiful. I love every track. It makes me want to turn off the A/C and open the windows. My two favorite tracks are STAND SO TALL and YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL but they are all fantastic. There isn't one song that I skip. And it is rare for me to listen to a whole CD without skipping tracks. I love this CD and can't wait for their next one  =)
