Greetings from Lee Scratch Perry

Listen to this - Lee Perry at his 78 year-old finest.

We missed him in Bristol last week - fuck!

In case you don't know, Lee Perry is not so much a Reggae artist as an all-round musician.  He wrote loads of stuff for Bob Marley, and ran the Black Arc studios in Jamaica before they mysteriously burnt down. All his music is very much his own, including all the mixing and effects.

He is a hero of ours.

  1. Still going strong at that age Tom - something to live up to.

  2. 'To the Rescue' (or 'Misty Morning'?) was one of his.
