Ok Michael how about this. Two absolute monsters, two monster songs. I would love for you to break it down, especially Guthrie's first solo. Tom's first solo is unbelievable as well. Hope you enjoy, but come on now, you probably know you're going to, just by seeing the names.
Matt
Hey Michael - I know you like reggae, so here is a Brazilian reggae artist singing part of the song in Portuguese and part in English, joined by a few old Jamaicans in the recording studio. Beautiful voice from both singers and very good reggae vibes. I love the vampire laughing noises from Congo, the Jamaican. The song is about the system keeping the poor communities down; very similar theme to Bob Marley's "Babylon System", but original lyrics and music from this artist.
Would love to see you react to this
Hi Michael, I'd love to watch you react to this performance from a legendary songwriter and great acoustic finger-picker who is unfortunately not very well-known, especially within the younger generations. Thanks for all you do, your community is helping me break through a long-time plateau with my picking.
Need more SKA! The brass section and overall composition of this song is top tier and they execute it to perfection. Timing and a band being on the same page is a common thread of a great live band. This band speaks to that.
