Dub reggae legend Lee "Scratch"
Perry delivers a second follow-up to his Grammy-nominated
collaboration with multi-instrumentalist Steve Marshall AKA
producer John Saxon. Perry created unique,
category-defying music. For the uninitiated, Lee "Scratch"
Perry was one of the most important figures in the history of
reggae music. Not only did he help develop the early reggae sound
captured in a number of important recordings, but as an engineer,
producer, songwriter, and performer he pioneered a number of
innovations, including dub reggae. With this release, Lee Perry again drew his
narrative from his spirituality and the day's global events. Very
special guests Keith Richards and George Clinton
again join Marshall, with Harold Duncan, Aguybert Green, Tim
Hill, Dr Sleepy, Alec Hay, elodieO,
Abi Browning, and David Stewart Jones also
featured.
