Ralph White - "The Israelites" by Desmond Decker

[shotdonkey]

almost unrecognizable - difficult to say if that`s a compliment though...desmond dekker`s version is a classic.

60's Ska hit turned into a 1930's style depression era folk song. Amazing.

Interesting take on Desmond Dekker's hit...never heard the banjo played in this style before--very unique.

Jesus what tha...

Loved it, but then I loved Jimmy Page and Puff Daddy's Come Go With Me.) It is like listening to Joe Cocker cover the Beatles. Like a different song but still really good.

Every true musician always digs a different form of a classic tune. I dug the hell out of it. Bravo!

Cool Ralph, it almost seems like Desmond Decker ripped the tune off from Mother Maybelle.

Interesting take on this classic. Great playing, I think Desmond would have been flattered. It sounds strangely haunting
