THANK JAH!!!!!!! It's Friday.....and a special Friday indeed.
Medeski, Martin, and Wood have teamed up with jazz guitarist John Scofield on a new album, Out Louder, due out September 26th on the band's own Indirecto Records. This marks the second time MMW have teamed up with Scofield. The first time was on Scofield's 1998 A Go Go record where MMW provided more of an accentuating hand instead of collaborative approach to recording.
A description of the album from MMW's site:
...music not of this world, yet rooted in the earth tones of jazz, funk, and blues. Music from the heart, for the mind, and made to shake the earth, not to mention the body...
So you may be asking yourself how this is reggae related and hence a TJIF post. Simple. The last track on Out Louder is a improved laced cover version of Peter Tosh's pot-smoking anthem "Legalize It" (...even the lawyers too.....). Enjoy this track and make sure you check out the new album on September 26th.
p.s. - Out Louder also contains a nice interpretation of The Beatles' "Julia".
