Yabby You Meets Tommy McCook ''In Dub - Sounds Of The 70's'' [Peacemaker Records – CD1275]


Yabby You + Tommy McCook + King Tubby = sublime brilliance.

Not crazy flashy dub, but it works perfectly with Tommy McCooks sax for the perfect mix.

Yabby You the legendary reggae singer, songwriter and producer first came to public attention with his seminal hit 'Conquoring Lion' in the early 1970's. His hit 'Jesus Dread' gained further recognition and differentiated Yabby You from the other reggae musicians as he was a Jesus Dread not a Restafarian. Tommy McCook joins Yabby You on this album. Tommy McCook was the bandleader of the legendary Skatalites nominated numerous times by Downbeat magazine as the best international jazz band.
