THE AGGROVATORS ON A TRUCK

The Aggrovators got me tonight. A studio band at Bunny Lee's, King Tubby's mix meat and a rotating line up chocked full of reggae A-listers. To wit: Tony Chin, Ansel Collins, Carlton "Santa" Davis, Bobby Ellis, Vin Gordon, Tommy McCook, Robbie Shakespeare, Earl "Chinna" Smith, George "Fully" Fullwood, Sly Dunbar, Carlton Barrett, Aston "Family Man" Barrett and Winston Wright. It you don't recognize those names just imagine a reggae version of Booker T and the MGs with the Mar-Keys being dubbed to death.

I happened by a post at For The Sake of the Song with a couple vintage Aggrovators cuts, then went to YouTube and got totally fucking devoured by a mess of their stuff. Not fighting it. Like a title of one of their compilations says, let dub change your mind. It kind of did. I went from lazy to lazier.
