New Album “Must Be Free” from Lee “Scratch” Perry
|
 Dub reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry returns to the studio with a wide-ranging narrative, in collaboration with Spacewave. This Grammy-winning artist, songwriter, and producer doesn't hesitate with his unexpurgated commentary on his spirituality, good and evil, the human condition, and aliens. Long-time fans will hear familiar themes from the dub master (Judgment Day, evils of eating meat, and marijuana must be free), and on this album he builds on these, adding new territory.
This is not a laid-back roots album. Be prepared for mostly up-tempo electronic tracks. Featured are reggae, dub, dubstep, acid jazz, and electronic music and music influences. Special guests include Subatomic Sound System, The Groovematist,
and IAmPhloboi.

If you wish, and we really wish you wouldn't, like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows.
