& fuck the opinion that it's some limp wristed version of an authenticity-infused BLACK reggae song. it's pop as shit, for one thing.. if anybody was pandering to white audience sensibilities in the first place it was cliff & his co-conspirators on harder they come. that is not to say that it's not a wonderful, wonderful alb that i've listened to 20,000 times
started off a little flat but it turned out ok. 1 of the best white boy reggae covers is the clashes "police and thieves". not the record but the live performance in their film "rude boy". outside of that ub4o r a great reggae band
oh great to see this here. this is like when thom yorke and REM teamed up to play ebow the letter (kinda) - so much goodness in one place! thanks for this :)

Love the way Ryan always gets into the jam. He usually has a foot tapping! He totally grooves with the music!

yea the only part i heard that was out of tune was the first note. and it sounded like it was someone from paul shaffers band. not willie nelson.

I think ryan is reall really into the stones, some of his early stuff, whiskeytown, sounds alot like a alt-country version of the stones.
