Lee 'Scratch' Perry

Again, I'm loving the feedback on the poll (on the right column), so here's another reggae classic I love! (Keep the votes rollin'; You only have until April 20th!) ;)

This 1984 release consists of 2 vinyl albums on 1 cd. Lee Perry's "Chapter 1: The Upsetters" and "Blackboard Jungle Dub", a couple of gems from Lee Perry's golden age in the Black Ark Studio during the early-to-mid-'70s.

Some of my personal favourite tracks are: "Come Along", "Bush Weed Corn Trash", "Blackboard Jungle Dub", "Sin Semilla Kaya Dub"...oooooooo deadly reggae y'all!

Enjoy!

Bad Brains

"Quickness", released in 1989, is the fourth full-length studio album from hardcore punk and reggae pioneers Bad Brains. With tracks like "With The Quickness", "Soul Craft", "Don't Blow Bubbles", "The Prophet's Eye"...they make this one of my favourite Bad Brains albums.

Enjoy!

1st blog compilation!

This is my first, of hopefully many, themed compilations presented by this music blog. In August, 2006, I started the first of what would be 9 podcasts under the name Mista D's Good Music Podcast. I had fun with it, but it ended up taking too much time that I wasn't able to find. Plus the podcasting site that I originally started with only allowed me to post so many for free, so I then continued my posts on a different site, which demanded that I post more often than I was able to in order to keep it active.

I figure this compilation idea will be easier for me to do instead of the podcasts over time, on my own time, and will also give the real music collectors (like myself) the full versions of each track! Speaking of which...Here's the tracklisting to this one:

01-Mr.Brown (Clean Remix)-STYLES OF BEYOND
02-Blood Fire (ft. Dynamite MC)-THE NEXTMEN
03-Around This Town-GRAND ANALOG
04-Scared Money-SAUL WILLIAMS
05-Embolism (ft. Giovani Mark)-BRAIN DAMAGE
06-Supercool-ACEYALONE
07-Eazy (ft.Chali2na & Bionik)-ACEYALONE
08-See The Fire-KARDINAL OFFISHALL
09-Lucifer (Paul Nice Remix)-JAY-Z
10-Blaow (ft. Lindo P)-FRANK N DANK
11-Head Lock (ft. LMNO)-MADLIB
12-Satsified (Dub Version)-J-LIVE
13-Skip Town-AESOP ROCK
14-Burnin' & Lootin' (ft. Black Thought)-BOB MARLEY
15-Mr.Brown-STYLES OF BEYOND
16-All Along The Watchtower In Dub (Live)-ROOTS MANUVA

If you download and enjoy this one, please leave me a comment; It'll inspire me to give you #2 sooner than later. ;)

Cas Haley

I saw this dude from Texas first on the last season of America's Got Talent. He got second place, but totally stole the show. He is the lead singer in a group called Woodbelly, and of course got a deal after the show, and recently released this great reggae album. In this zip, I also included 7 live recordings I found, from America's Got Talent, of some popular covers he did.

Check him out....

Willie Nelson is the man.

Back in December of 2006, I wrote a blog about this amazing reggae album that Willie Nelson released in 2005. Along with that blog, I tagged on one of the songs from "Countryman". Well, here's the entire album for ya now! Read my original '06 blog here for more details on why I love this album....and why Willie Nelson is the man. It's true. :)

Keep givin'r, Willie!

Joe Gibbs R.I.P.

I just read that Joe Gibbs (legendary Jamaican reggae engineer/ producer/ record label founder) just died a few days ago. Very sad loss. He died of a heart attack at the age of 65. He created many of the big roots and rocksteady riddims of the late 60's and early 70's and continued to produce hit after hit into the 80's dancehall era.

Check out this great collection, released on Soul Jazz, of some of his best works. Classics like Culture's "Two Sevens Clash" and "See Them A Come", Junior Murvin's "Cool Out Son", Dennis Brown's "I'm Coming Home" ... ooooh, deadly stuff!

Enjoy this one, and pay respects to the late, great, Joe Gibbs. R.I.P.
