off-topic, but i saw this elsewhere, and . . . cornell campbell's work for bunny lee is amongst my favorite music anywhere . . .

 

Yeah, that seems to be only a couple of tunes and I found them all. They all sound great so I'm looking forward to checking out the Devon Russel albums! Ketch vampire made me laugh as well though awesome track.

Edit: all the dub versions on his tracks seem to be really great as well so far as I've heard!

devon russell is not devon irons, as far as i can tell, despite rumors to the contrary

anyways, i'm listening to lord tanamo - you should never have to come, and there's no youtube!

so, will post a vid of another tanamo tune:

Ah, have to admit that I took that for granted when i saw that rumor. Will look into it (probably will hear it when I listen Russells stuff)

 

listening to his 'roots music' lp right now, doesn't sound much like irons - not a very exciting record to boot . . .
