Dubtember 27

Our Dubtember journey for this year is nearing an end. Many are saddened & many are over-joyed. Just rest assured, there are still a few nuggets to be had or bitter pills to be swallowed, depending on your position an this whole Dub thang to which I am addicted. 

 

 

 



One of my favorite gravelly voiced Mystics of Dub, Prince Far I was "a man to grace any style with wisdom, a chanter to quake the walls of the city, a preacher to strike fear in the weak of heart, humble in the garden & proud in the city". 

 

Prince Far I - Dubwise, Front Line CDFL 9019, 1991.

    Many, many thanks for Dubtember. Never knew there was so much out there ! have you heard Dub of the Passover by David Gould / Bill Laswell. Something a bit different.

      Thanks for the comment. Big fan of Laswell's but not really familiar with this one. Going looking for it right now to give it a listen Always more good Dub.
