BUT... isn't talking about reggae covers a bit lil dude on the realness front? Kind of like asking what's the best Perry Farrell Drum n Bass production.
Post some Reggae LP covers like kidgusto. Record porn trumps opinions every time. I'll shut up and do the same.
I don't . Do you mind explaining your thinking?
you should send it to me.
i'll gladly trade a copy of the idris muhammad version for it.
US soul/R&B covers are basically the genesis of reggae itself, so naturally it remains part of the art form. Snowball rolling, ya know?
Current 60's sounding funk bands do not have said roots.
