Three weeks before Toots Hibbert died at the age of 77, Rolling Stone editor Jason Fine published a profile on the reggae pioneer. Now, Fine pays tribute to Hibbert in a new video.
Fine kicked off by discussing Hibbert’s new album Got to Be Tough, which he released this past August. “It always reminds me of the last years of Johnny Cash’s life, when he did the American Recordings,” Fine said. “This music that was both looking back, but also defiant, trying new things. Toots had that bravery and that courage, and I really wanted to document that. It was important to me.”
“Growing up I was a big fan of Toots’ music,” he added. “In my mind, he was as big of a reggae star as any of the others. I’d never really read anything great about Toots or deep about Toots, and in the process of putting the story together I learned why: He’s really hard to track down. He’s very evasive and as wonderful and huge of a spirit as he was, he really was trying to avoid interviews.”
