UB40: A Family Sound #UB45

[Music] Jamie has been working with us for for years you know since since he was a a young lad it's decades here with Jamie over the years he's become more and more important more and more instrumental in the sound you know he played the keyboards on this album until we got Jared in who's done additional keyboards but all of the the basic keyboards were done by Jamie plus uh you know there's stuff that he done uh of his dad that was Jam's Liber of love I guess when he knew that we were doing a r

record of some of the classics he went and found live performances of his dads and um spun them into the recordings we've just done so that you know it kept the flavor of Brian in the numbers and he's the sound is unmistakably Briant he's a very creative guy you know uh he does for us what um rymond used to do for us Earl's brother um which was you know the Dub Side of the sound was what he created and what he you know in the studio gave us that sound and Jamie's the same Jamie adds a sound and

a you know atmosphere and all sorts of things that we're not playing you know it's it's stuff that happens in the studio he's become you know very much a part of our sound he understands us I think better than any other engineer that we could possibly work with you know we produce our own records anyway so we don't work with a producer but he's as close to a producer as we've got you know he uh he co-produces with us and um he's very much part of you know the the end result of a year b40 rep if

it was somebody else that you know somebody who who were just normally working with a normal producer they may clock off at 5:00 do you know what I mean Jamie doesn't do that at all he'll he'll go home and say I I'll work on that I'll work on a sand for that and and then at 4:00 in the morning at 4:30 I'm a nice owl too you know so he sends me something at 4:30 in the morning cuz he's obviously just finished it you know and that I've done this skyboard or I've done this or I've done you know and

he just sent what you think you know he's constantly working and as he says it his heart's in it [Music] k
