Dobby Dobson: An Interview with Jamaica's Music Ambassador

Dobby Dobson is a great musician and a legend in Jamaica who deserves much more acclaim elsewhere. The real shame here is that this was an opportunity for a great documentary about a previously ignored music industry giant but this interview is a complete and total shambles.

It seems to have been recorded on a VHS camcorder with tracking problems. The sound is awful and doesn't match up to the audio. There's way too much of the interviewer showing himself and interjecting. It's also unfortunate that they didn't have more old footage of Dobson performances and other (better shot) interviews.

Another problem is the run time. Maybe if the question and answer portion went better it wouldn't be as noticeable but with this amateur hour taping it gets very old very fast and we didn't even get half way through the three plus hour run time.

With a decent camera and microphone and had this just been an interview with this great man that didn't include so much of the interviewer, and had it included better clips and been edited much more professionally, this could have been great or at least decent. Instead I sadly must say, don't bother checking this out, not even for free online... Dobby Dobson deserves a billion times better than this.
