Loose Caboose

Loose Caboose is a reggae band from Massachusetts. Formed in January of 1972 as Road Hog, then in 1975 the band changed to The Alan Fuller Band. The band was inspired by the likes of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff and other reggae visionaries. The band's goal was to bring reggae to the Northeastern US.

History

The band was formed in Wendell, Massachusetts with the original members: Allyn Dorr (bass), Jonathan Dorr (guitar), David Boatwright (guitar), and Jim Cheney (drums). In 1976 Boo Pearson on percussion and in 1977 Ras Jahn Bullock joined the band on percussion and backing vocals. With Ras Jahn's inspiration from Rastafari he began writing and eventually became the front man of Loose Caboose.

In 1978 Ras Jahn took his first trip to Jamaica to meet with Bob Marley and inform him of the reggae movement in the Northeastern US. His trip was successful, inspired with his news from Jamaica, Loose Caboose continued their struggle of spreading reggae with determination.

In 1979, Bob Marley invited Ras Jahn to bring the band to Jamaica to record their first album at Tuff Gong.
