Guest Low Roller Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Easy Star All-Stars have made a career for themselves covering classic albums with a reggae/dancehall spin. Their breakthrough Dub Side Of The Moon is a classic and should be part of everyone's music collection. Radiodread (Ok Computer) is a bit more hit and miss (mostly miss IMHO) but also a few memorable moments. Now with their third album they target the classic Beatles album. So far I've listened to the album on a couple of occasions, and I think that it's quite well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I like it - however it seems rushed - not as much attention to detail as the DSOM album.They take a couple liberties with the lyrics on this one...from "Day in the Life"-"woke up got out of bed,dragged my fingers through my dreads" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 They take a couple liberties with the lyrics on this one...also"Cellophane flowers of [color:red]red, [color:yellow]gold and [color:green]green,Towering over your head."Their last show at Lee's was a blast.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 This is an original side to this band - I'm pretty sure they have their own original releases, I remember when they played at Lee's that they touched on their own material plus RadioDread and DubSideoftheMoon.
