In 1974 when Bob Marley went solo, on the brink of international stardom, he surprised the music community by choosing as his lead guitarist the soft spoken, American-born Al Anderson. It was Anderson’s stunning lead work on such classics as No Woman, No Cry, Dem Belly Full and Curfew (Three O’ Clock Road Block) that first alerted rock fans to the Wailers’ music. Over a billion dollars worth of Marley’s music featuring Al Anderson’s evocative guitar work has been sold worldwide. Al has also played with the legendary Peter Tosh, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Steel Pulse, Aswad, Inner Circle, Traffic and Ben Harper.

Junior Marvin joined Marley as singer/guitarist during the sessions for Exodus and Kaya albums, shortly before the band’s legendary appearance at London’s Rainbow Theatre in ’77. Junior has also to his credit worked with Ike & Tina Turner, Steve Winwood, Linda Lewis, T-Bone Walker, Billy Preston, Chris Wood in both the US and UK. In 2011, Junior Marvin departed the group.

Al Anderson is the sole original member of the Wailer's classic line-up in The Original Wailers. The reformed configuration includes Desi Hyson (Vocals/Keyboards), Steve Samuels (Bass Guitar), Paapa Nyarkoh (Drums) and Marty Batista (Keyboards and Organ) that carry forward the true spirit and realities of the original music and the message of “One Love”.

The debut record "Better Things" by Headshine catches the attention of CBS radio. "Headshine, create music which conjures up these quintessential California moments with warm-bodied acoustics, Bob Marley-inspired reggae riffs, persuasive percussion, and a fearless fader scratching that gives their sound an understated edge. Much like the typical native Californian, Headshine is a musical mosaic of melodies effortlessly melting into each other, supported by luminous lyrics prompting the listeners towards self-compassion and positive action. This sound transmuted into feeling is the kind of experience that has prompted many a youthful daydreamer into finding their own dreams with the peaceful churn of the Pacific Ocean as their soundtrack." -KROQ

"Lead-singer and songwriter, RAS, more or less coined the term for his band. “Headshine” represents a good vibe when things automatically click and the moment is just right. It’s like catching the perfect wave - the feeling of being in-sync with yourself and the elements.

This synchronizing of sound and style is felt throughout the EP. RAS sings like an artist who has been through a lot and is only beginning to bare all. The Huntington Beach singer/songwriter has cultivated a surfer/acoustic sound with a touch of reggae and California sunshine.

In “Better Things,” the first track off Headshine’s EP, the message is straightforward and light. RAS sings in his charismatic voice, “Better things are coming my way/Never giving up/The best is yet to come.” While “Better Things” might have a touch of premonition to its lyrics, “One Spark” and “Devil in my Bed” are in tune with a more Latin-feel. “Devil in my Bed,” with a hint of Ricky Martin-suavity, is a fun and sexy song to listen to.

It has to be stated here: RAS’s song-writing is simple yet the final product is movingly so. His talent lies in his ability to craft life, love, and all the spaces in-between into his lyrics. His voice provides many textures to the music tapestry, so that there is not one word that fully encompasses his style. With the backing of major-label producer, Jim Perkins and with the premiere of his first single “Better Things” on San Diego’s 91X, things are definitely looking up for the singer/songwriter. RAS knew what he was talking about when he sang “the best is yet to come.” -Performer Magazine.com, writer: My Nguyen
