Crossing time, space and genre and featuring Blackheart Man

Don selections cross time, space and genre, plus his Crucial Vinyl is Bunny Wailer's debut album, Blackheart Man.

Don's selections cross time, space and genre and include new releases alongside classics and overlooked gems from the UK, USA, Jamaica and beyond.

He also selects another piece of Crucial Vinyl from his album collection, features three key tracks from it, explains how it first came across it and why it means so much to him. This week it's Bunny Wailer's 1976 debut Blackheart Man.

Don says, "Released the same year as the other two original Wailers' solo efforts (Peter Tosh's 'Legalize It' and Bob Marley's 'Rastaman Vibration'), Bunny Wailer had a lot to prove with his debut.

Inspired by his Rastafarian faith, he produced a deeply spiritual record that became a roots reggae classic and is generally considered to be his finest work. Mission accomplished, Mr.Wailer!".
