Via friend of no notes Alex Rawls and his colleagues at Offbeat:
“St James Infirmary” by Jeremy “Mojo” Phipps and the Outsiders feat. Maddie Ruthless on the latest CD Looters 2011.
Billed as “St James Infirmary (Dub) by Jeremy Phipps and the Outsiders feat. Maddie Ruthless,” it sounds more ska/reggae than dub to me, but I’m not exactly an expert. (Feel free to set me straight in the comments.) Anyway, Ruthless has a nice voice and the vibe, whatever its proper label, is excellent. Worth a listen!
Yo love this site , here are two great versions of St.J I. the first is allen toussaint and the second is a ripping country funk version from jerry reed. the may be worthy of inclusion on the site.
thanks
