Reggae Covers Rock: Celebrating International Reggae Day

We know you’ve heard of Bob Marley but reggae is so much more than its most famous ambassador. If you’re looking for an introduction to the genre, these reggae covers of familiar rock and pop songs are the perfect way to dip a toe into the island waters. Hear how Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and Delroy Wilson and others have reinterpreted these classic tracks to give them that distinctive reggae sound. Hear these songs and other reggae favorites on International Reggae Day (July 1) and every day on SiriusXM The Joint (Ch 42).
