Like the Wackies, Hudson was also a devotee of Studio One. This album follows the strategy of overdubbing Coxon’s signature rhythms.\nWith Lloyd “Brewacky” Jones serving as executive producer, this is a rather deep world that strongly evokes Lee Perry’s Black Ark era.\nThe title track, the first song on the album, is based on Horace Andy’s “DON’T THINK ABOUT ME,” which Keith produced, but isn’t that guitar phrase actually the melody from the Congos’ “FISHERMAN”?!\nThere are plenty of highlights to enjoy, including Keith’s vocals—which aren’t exactly polished but have real character—the addition of female backing vocals, and funky arrangements featuring a wah-wah guitar.\nAlthough 12 tracks are credited, all of them feature a dancehall-style dub version directly appended to the latter half of each track, so there are effectively only 6 tracks.\nA strange yet compelling dub masterpiece unlike any other dub album.\nThe cover faithfully reproduces the original white sleeve with only a stamped design from the time of its release—a must-have for collectors. A must-listen for dub fans!
