Toots and the Maytals
Set To Tour, Honored with
a Grammy and Playing at Bonnaroo
(New York) Toots Hibbert,
one of the true architects of reggae, was honored with a 2004 Grammy Award
on Sunday night for his recent release True Love. True Love,
his debut on V2 Records won The Best Reggae Album Category.
This week, Toots also announces his spring tour kicking off
on March 7th at Dallas's Tree's Lounge and ending up on May 1st at Houston's
"Houston International Festival" swing through the famed New Orleans Jazz
Fest along the way.
In June, Toots and his band will be among the plethora of
famed performers playing this summer at The Bonnaroo Festival and will hit
the stage on Sunday, June 12th.
Toots and the Maytals’ are
responsible for writing and producing some of the most well known songs of
the genre, including “Do the Reggay” in 1968 from which the name of the
genre was coined.
True Love
reflects the impressive range of musical significance that Toots instills in
the artistic community and the deep devotion he inspires in both young and
old musicians. Since the early Sixties, Toots has absorbed, blended,
influenced and helped shape a host of musical styles, from R&B to Ska, from
soul to rock & roll, from gospel, to of course, reggae.
He and his band The Maytals’
are joined by special guests, such as Bonnie Raitt, Willie Nelson, Eric
Clapton, Keith Richards, and many more while revisiting the bands’ classics.
The caliber of these guest artists’ prove that the longevity of these songs
and the unrivaled quality of music Toots and the Maytals’ have produced over
time can be embraced by any generation.
