Poet and the Roots are a reggae band formed to record dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson's poems with dub backing tracks.
The recordings were on the Virgin Records label.[1] Johnson released his later material under his own name, although some of the musicians from this group appeared on his subsequent albums.
