That lazy slowed-down sound, and that weird machine making the craw sound... great stuff. But once you get started with dub, you can't stop. I agree with some Toots in your diet, he's a totally positive singing force. And his version of Loui Loui is worth Funky Kingston alone. But also very good is Reggae Got Soul and In The Dark. Oh and but while you're there check out Bunny Wailer's Blackheart Man, and Peter Tosh (grab a compilation) and almost anything by King Tubby. And if you do go Marley, try your hand at Babylon By Bus because it captures the sound and clear bass of his band live. And... on.rino breebaarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732964644950027323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767292359356432548.post-27579718047633450452013-06-08T22:26:37.428-07:002013-06-08T22:26:37.428-07:00No guilt my friend, I buy music and bought Earth R...No guilt my friend, I buy music and bought Earth Rocker this morning.

Naah- you buy what you like. But I would suggest that you listen to Toots. I mean there's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oOtz6mE7sM and this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQxsy5XvnUU not mention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izFPAV5kRRo . As for Clutch, yes, they are local guys whom I've had beers with, and yes, the new record is pretty awesome- I'm not thinking they need a guilt purchase- I knew you were just joking. As am I- but, to be serious, Clutch's Earth Rocker is (in my opinion) the best thing they've done since Blast Tyrant.

Dammit, if I buy another reggae record it'll be as big as my jazz collection. No disrespect to Clutch - admittedly I haven't listened to them in years, I do have copies of the elephant riders and robot hive somewhere and like them. It was more about my idiotic ability to confuse monosyllabic band names and the sheer intensity of that Torche ep. Anyhow, I'm not here to be mean so be assured it wasn't a dig at them, just more failed comedy. As recompense, I'll buy their new record today.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439169949165545033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767292359356432548.post-26053997058983951912013-06-08T07:19:44.774-07:002013-06-08T07:19:44.774-07:00Two things: I am firm in my belief that if you are...Two things: I am firm in my belief that if you are to own only one Reggae LP, it should be both versions of Toots & the Maytals "Funky Kingston". Also, while you are allowed your tastes, I don't see any reason to bash Clutch. Besides the band containing my friends, the latest LP, "Earth Rocker" proves that they're not amateur burnouts- they're professional burnouts.
