Happy Friday Y'all! Today we sample Disc 2 of:
This Is Reggae Music - The Golden Era Box Set
Disc two covers years 1968-1970...Rocksteady to Reggae...
'LSKDB' - Written by the Pioneers to honor a racehorse named, suprisingly, Longshot. Years later ska band the Specials would revive this song
The other two songs were used in Jimmy Cliff's movie, the Harder they Come.
Thank Jah! Good selections sound bwoy...rewind selector!

Good stuff, Harder They Come is a great movie. Any chance of some Jimmy Cliff one of these weeks? Oh and don't forget that Sublime covered "Rivers Of Babylon" at the very end of 40 Oz. To Freedom.

Hokies unite.
Harder They Come is fantastic. I first saw it in a 10th grade economics class. Amazing.
Weren't they doing a remake of that?
Liking your blog. Keep it up.

Bready - You need to check out "Rockers". That movie and soundtrack are even better than The Harder They Come....believe it or not.
