UB40: Influences

UB40: Influences

Birmingham veterans UB40 have a knack for delivering chart-busting, reggae-inflected pop that draws from Jamaican groundbreakers. All their key influences are here in the form of King Tubby's bouncy dub, Gregory Isaacs' infectious lovers' rock and Toots and the Maytals' resonant, heartfelt grooves. Those sounds find commonality with American artist Timmy Thomas' earthy, politically charged R&B.
