Radiohead’s multi-instrumental genius Jonny Greenwood totally digs reggae. In fact, his love for Jamaican music inspired him to piece together a compilation of his favorite tracks on to an album, titled Jonny Greenwood Is The Controller. It took him six months to narrow down his selections, including songs from Lee Perry, Sly & Robbie Desmond Dekker. The compilation will hit stores on March 6 via Trojan/Sanctuary Records. Now if only Greenwood would rock the dreads.
