    If you want to do a deep dive: check out Riddimguide.com.

    Yep, Take A Ride is the original, from 1972.

    Don't forget Truths & Rights is made on the Take A Ride riddim:

    You're in for a treat. Bros. Landreth is one of my favourite alt country/americana groups. Here's a live session with Dave on a Kithara:

    Well, except they're not.

    Holy smokes that is perfect.

    That is indeed brilliant. Also, in that same "famous studio people" category:

    I'd like to find some more good and relatively unknown music documentaries, so let's make it a topic to collect them. At the moment, I'm watching "One Hand Don't Clap", a 1986 film about Caribbean Calypso. Beautiful.

    Also very curious about all your ways of listening to reggae and ska. Do you have an extensive vinyl collection, or stylistically curated Spotify playlists? I do both: I have two big playlists with respecetively vocal and dub reggae, but also have a collection of about 80 albums, mainly pre-1980. I'm very picky about what I buy on vinyl. My most prized reggae record is a 2nd pressing of Johnny Osbourne's Truths & Rights. Love that album.

    Just found this 1964 BBC documentary about ska. Excellent film.

    Isn't that the bass that Dave Landreth uses? They look and sound absolutely killer.

    Well the photo is the proof

    Someone filmed the whole set of my UB40 tribute gig last Thursday. Pretty satisfied with the result.

      Saw this and thought I'd have a quick look to see how it sounded as UB40 were one of my favourite bands when I was younger. That quick look ended after one and a half hours! Well done guys (and the lady who did the Chrissie Hynde numbers). Great playing and fantastic show all together.

    The full 90 minute set of my UB40 tribute band was filmed last week. Pretty satifisfied.

    Yep, it's basically laminated black paper and phenolic resin.

    Brilliant! Also always lovely to see the instruments of a person who's passed away land in the loving hands of a friend/family member/loved one.
