Released in 1979, Wild Suspense is the sound of the Wailing Souls coming fully into their own. Deathless tracks like “Row Fisherman” (on which Sly Dunbar plies the four-on-the-floor sound that had become his drum signature) and “Very Well” are still classics, and lead singer Winston “Pipe” Matthews has never sounded better. This was a self-produced album, and it’s mixed impressively well. The 1997 reissue appends dub mixes for most of the songs on the original program.
