Andy Cotton – “Shit Rock feat. Brian J” mp3
When we see “Shit Rock” in a title we wonder, is this rock shit, as in shite? Or is it The Shit? Dilemmas never cease. Only one way to find out, and you guessed it my dears – I would never trouble you if it were excrement. After all, that’s not my gig. No. I post here only stuff that I really like. And upright bassist Andy Cotton’s dub exploration is some upright in this urban crucial reggae muthrfkin sh!t rock. Go forth and dubify.

It takes a certain artistic confidence to create something truly minimal, and leave it alone. This instrumental joint from the gr8 Sly and Robbie is starkly simple yet complete and entertaining. Soundtrack music if I ever heard any. And it’s the soundtrack to my Saturday morning coffee. Cheers.

Richie Spice – “Trouble in the World” mp3
Richie Spice, with his distinctive and most excellent singing voice, takes the trouble of the world and distills it into an anthem for humanity. Classic reggae dub arrangements and harmony vocals complement the lyrics perfectly, putting this in a class with the Wailers, Black Uhuru and other Jamaican gr8s.
