Jah Wobble (real name John Wardle) is a bassist whose music origins are intertwined with longtime friend Jonny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. In 1980, Sid Vicious lent him a bass, and two months later Jah Wobble landed a gig with his pal Johnny Rotten (now John Lydon) in the newly formed band Public Image Limited (PiL). After three years he moved on to pursue solo projects which have have been all over the musical style map. Given the punk sensibilities of his youth, it’s interesting that he developed a world-fusion style of playing that draws heavily on reggae and dub. 

While there are several noteworthy CDs in his catalog, my favorite of his releases is “Take Me To God”, infused with multiple world music styles. The high point of the CD is “The Sun Does Rise”, featuring Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries). Every so often you hear a song that makes your heart soar. This one does it for me every time.
Originally released in 1994. 

Take Me To God features a number of guest artists including Baaba Maal, Dolores O’Riordan, Natasha Atlas, Gavin Friday, Najma Akhtar, and Chaka Demus and Pliers.
