I really love the early Wailers records, and I'm looking for a similar sound. No electronic drums or synthesizers, just traditional instruments: drums, horns, bass, guitar, maybe some old school keyboards, like a clavinet. A more modern example might be John Brown's Body. Any suggestions?

As for Jamaican music, my favorite is the Jimmy Cliff Band. Used the soundtrack for Marked for Death movie. Jimmy has got a great voice and the music has a great beat, moving.
