I love the "oldies" style reggae sound ("oldies" is not the correct term here I am sure). Reminds me a bit of Desmond Dekker - one of my all-time favorites.
Agreed on all counts, Brian. Lots of really excellent harmony singing in this music and just supernaturally great rhythm sections. The riddims are TOUGH.
This is the same song as "Draw your brakes" on The Harder They Come Album, done by Scotty, whoever that is. And while they are different versions, different lyrics, etc., the main line - "stop that train" - sounds indistinguishable to me in both versions. Wonderful, wonderful song.
DNR
Yes, DNR, it's actually the same recording; the Harder They Come version features Scotty toasting over this backing track.
