Time for some groovy dub...it's June, the air is sweet. Rico Rodriguez, Cuban-born Jamaican ska and reggae trombonist, teamed up with the legendary Sly and Robbie rhythm section to record the album Man From Wareika. This album is noteworthy as being the only roots reggae album released on the Blue Note label.
With that being said, this particular track is taken from the rare dub version of this album. The atmosphere is so swampy, it is a humid day in the tropics, mon. Just lay back and enjoy a nice June afternoon as you gently drift along on the bass and the little tinkly glass bottles...it's so unobtrusive...wait, what's that guitar at 3:25?...it snapped me back to reality.
Wait a minute...that kid from the TV show Modern Family is also named Rico Rodriguez? I had to add 'reggae' to my image search to avoid photos of that kid. Great, now I have images of that kid's chubby little face stuck in my mind.
