Easy Star All-Stars with Trumystic
From its inception in 1996, Easy Star Records has been at the forefront of a growing revolution in reggae music.
Easy Star evolved from an idea hatched by four friends into a vibrant independent record company that has been
called "...one of the most important reggae labels in America today." [Full Watts, 9/98] Easy Star has helped to
foster this renewed interest in Jamaican music, and can now be rightfully considered one of the leaders in the
modern reggae industry. In 2003 Easy Star released the now classic Dub Side of the Moon project, which is a
song-by-song reggae recreation of the classic Pink Floyd album Dark Side of the Moon. In 2006, as a collaboration of
reggae and ska artists, Radiodread was created as a compilation of Radiohead songs.
