Big Mountain - The Best Of (1999)

Much like UB40, American reggae band Big Mountain brought a very
commercialized version of Jamaican music to the American mainstream
when their cover of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way" reached
the Top Ten in early 1994. To the band's credit, though, its three
albums contain reggae roots music combined with only several
R&B-ish covers, and the lineup includes two Jamaicans with excellent
credentials: rhythm guitarist Tony Chin and drummer Santa Davis --
both of whom played with Peter Tosh's band and the Soul Syndicate.

Big Mountain were originally formed in San Diego as the Rainbow Warriors.
After several years of dizzying lineup changes and two name changes --
first to Shiloh and finally to Big Mountain -- the group settled around
vocalist/guitarist Quino, with rhythm guitarist Jerome Cruz, drummers
Gregory Blakney and Lance Rhodes, keyboard player Manfred Reinke, and
bassist Lynn Copeland. That lineup released Wake Up on the Quality label
in 1992 and charted "Touch My Light" early the following year. The single
reached number 51 in America, but only one year later Big Mountain began
to experiment with several different guitarists. After several changes,
Tony Chin became available and joined Quino and Copeland with new
additions Santa Davis, James McWhinney (percussion), and keyboard
players Billy Stoll and Michael Hyde. During sessions for their second
album, movie producer Ron Fair approached Big Mountain about recording
a cover of "Baby, I Love Your Way" for his upcoming movie Reality Bites.
Included on the soundtrack and the group's 1994 Unity album, the single
reached number six in the U.S. and became a worldwide hit.
