John Brown’s Body formed right here in Boston in the mid '90s when there wasn’t what you’d call a U.S. reggae scene. JBB was one of a handful of groups that began touring nationally and created distinctly American reggae, steeped in traditional vibes but incorporating elements from other genres. JBB acted more like an indie band, writing songs that used the vocabulary of reggae to express their own experiences. The album Kings And Queens is a synthesis of every aspect of their storied career. It’s as if, after close to two decades of existence, this pioneering band has finally crafted their ultimate statement, tying together styles they’ve dabbled in, paid respect to, created, or pushed forward into one tightly woven mosaic. JBB’s Future Roots is now present tense.
