Welcome to Ska Boom Interviews, which is the audio companion to my book Ska Boom: An American Ska & Reggae Oral History now available from DiWulf Publishing and Amazon. The goal of this podcast is talk about ska with an emphasis on American ska history and the bands, musicians and people who have helped to create and influence a uniquely American version of ska and reggae that spans from the late 70s until today. In honor of the 30th anniversary of Stubborn Records, I interview Jeff Baker (KA: King Django) and Matt Wixson who have partnered to issue Still Stubborn Volume 1 which features a variety of artists including The Slackers, Big D and The Kids Table, Buford O’Sullivan and more performing songs from the vast and diverse Stubborn Records discography. I’ll speak to Jeff and Matt about the comp and also explore the early days of Stubborn Records and the Stubborn All Stars band and discuss Jeff’s important and long-lasting contribution to American ska and reggae.Ska Boom is hosted/produced by Marc Wasserman and co-produced/engineered by Rob George.Part of Pantheon PodcastsPlease note: The music clips included in this podcast fall under the “Fair Use Doctrine” as defined by Section 107 of the Copyright Act.
