This week we listen to the brand new single from Flying Vipers, “Show Me” and the dub version, “Show & Tell.” This is their first release with Easy Star Records and both versions showcase Kellee Webb on lead vocals. We talk about the warmth and vibe of the tune, and its interesting orchestration. We look forward to seeing what else Flying Vipers has coming up!

You can hear this track on Bandcamp, all major streaming platforms and on Youtube.

This week we listen to two tracks: “Anywhere But Here” & “Valentine’s Day” by The Steady 45s. We discuss how the band stays true to the traditional style of early 60s Jamaica in terms of songwriting, the way the music is performed, and the recording quality. Both tunes are from the 2017 album Trouble in Paradise, where they showcase the band’s impressive range from one song to the next. We hope you enjoy these songs and our breakdown of them as much as we enjoyed talking about them!

This week we are joined by a fellow member of the Rootfire family, Jim The Boss. Jim just released a Halloween themed dub album called “Jim The Boss Presents: Dubs From The Grave.” We talk about the creation of this album, his backstory of getting into reggae music and some of Jim’s past accomplishments. He also shares details about some fun and exciting projects he has coming up. We had a lot of fun discussing this project with Jim and playing out this album. We encourage you to check it out on Bandcamp, where there is also merch available for the album.
