I don’t particularly like Reggae. I mean, I get it, I just don’t particularly think it strikes harmony with my cold cold heart. But never-the-less the Easy Star All Stars make me re-frame my mind for it. This band brought you the musical re-incarnations of 2 of the most beloved albums of all times with their release in 2003 of Dub Side of the Moon, and in 2006 Radiodread. This month they did it again with the Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, out on April 14th on Easy Star Records.
They have somehow managed to ride the fine line between integrity and originality, flattering the masters they pay tribute to. Its nice, and mellow, and if you decide to partake in a little recreational smoking, well I say, puff puff give. They hit the road this week, check out their schedule here!
