A new reggae release from Boss Capone and George Dekker, the latter being the half brother of legendary ska king, Desmond Dekker, and a legend in his own right as a member of The Pioneers, has been getting some real attention here at Casa De Neurotico. "Blackfire," released back in May, is a new, old school ska record and each track is more fun than the last. It's not just the sparkling vibe of the whole session that does it for me. It's the brilliant production, making it feel like a lost classic from the vaults. Check out these tracks and maybe you'll want to hear more.

Ooh, I enjoyed these quite a bit. Will have to dial up the whole album.
Lessee.....Over and done with by around 3 minutes? YES. Thin and reedy production? YES. Melodica? YES. Nonsense singing syllables (I'm thinking Toots' 'Bam Bam')? YES. Yes, this hits the sweet spots of why I love pre-mid-70s reggae. Thanks!
