BLACK UHURU MIX

Bab and A Western Front recorded a couple of albums for Christmas in the 80's. This was before I knew them. He wrote original Christmas songs and blended them into others to make these albums. I imagine they gave them away on cassettes. On Christmas of 2001, Bab made a Christmas single with a re-recording of Ring The Bell (Christmas Time Is Here) and a new song called Come Adore. 9/11 really affected him and he wanted to do something special that year. Turns out that Come Adore is one of Bab's most gut wrenching songs, but somehow works as a modern Christmas song… especially for that time. Bab loved Christmas. I think he was really into its meaning and message. The spirit of “peace on earth and goodwill toward men”. He wanted that. He really wanted that.

Bab was one of the most generous people I knew. He was always giving me thoughtful things for no reason. He loved getting things for the kids too. Birthdays, Christmas, whatever. He mostly gave his time. And that also meant his music. He spent so much time on his music. But it wasn’t for him it was for you. It was for everyone. This is why I have to make these podcasts, and why I must release his albums properly. He made his music for you.  

Merry Christmas! Enjoy this episode with all its quirks. Happy Holidays! And thank you for listening.
