Dub Triple Threat

Posted By btieman Add comments

Jacob Miller: Baby I Love You So, Who Say Jah No Dread, Jah Dread
From: Who Say Jah No Dread [1992, Greensleeves]

Since my last dub post, I’ve expanded my record collection a bit and discovered this gem.

At just over 30min, Who Say Jah No Dread is a tight, well-crafted experience; 6 well constructed and beautifully performed songs each followed by its respective dub versions. The selections showcase highlights from the early 70’s collaborations between vocalist Jacob Miller (of Inner Circle) and producer Augustus Pablo. King Tubby completes the “triple threat” by mixing the dub versions.

A little research reveals this record to be a classic, and, it feels like a classic: subtle in its plentiful hooks and consistent in its quality. Well worth picking up. Politics, philosophy, and love melt together in one smooth ride.
