Prompted by Other Blogs, Part 3

I'm always cruising around the interweb, looking for interesting music. I'll see or hear something out there that sets me on a path. 

 

I recently started checking out A Few Good Times in My Life blog since friend Jonder added it to his list over at jonderblog. 

 

The other day A Few Good Times featured Hadsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse.

 

Steel Pulse are one of the best UK reggae outfits ever. I included an expanded & remastered version of their Earth Crisis on a April 2018 post called Dubbin’ Me Now because of the great Dubs that were bonus tracks on that particular version. You can find it here.

Though basically a great roots reggae band, Steel Pulse have an extensive Dub catalogue, deep enough to whip up this compilation.
