This isn't my sort-ta thing tbh, so why did I dance round the kitchen like a demented moron when it came on the radio!?

Haven't had my daily blast of Reggae yet, but yesterday I heard this for the first time in ages. Absolute Prince Buster instrumental classic, from 1967.

I first heard Iris on the Andy Kershaw radio show back in the day, he stated that some critics said that she couldn't sing!
Her unique voice is unusual but somehow mesmerising. This Johnny Cash cover was the song.

I try to be true to the thread with the best song I've heard today. This closed Loki which I watched this afternoon. Poignant for me because I was born in 1954 and it fell in that strange hinterland from my birth to the early 60's before I really got in to my musical tastes. I had favourites from that era and others which just filtered in to my head by some sort of osmosis, probably from the Light Programme, Two Way Family Favourites and the limited number of 45's I heard at family wedding receptions. I had several cousins up to 20 years older and these events involved a record player of some vintage and various family members bring their favourites to play. Obviously I spent much of my time rummaging through the vinyl! This was one of that ilk. Brings back warm memories.

Love this album and Iris's unique voice and styling. She's somehow pure and dirty and a bit cheeky rolled in to one. I like her stuff with the late lamented John Prine too.
classic idea for a punk song

If you like rap and/or appreciate really authentic raw emotion in your music then you’ll probably really enjoy this.
If you don’t like rap, prefer actual ability over authenticity and emotion or can’t separate art from the artist then give it a swerve
When I say about separating art/artist I do genuinely mean that if a bad backstory puts you off an artist then give it a swerve. This bloke is genuinely a reprehensible human see here or this
However the raw anger and pain in Jordan’s music mean I’m hooked.

I was incredibly fortunate to see them both together in LV a few years ago.
Was listening to the Prince earlier, love this tune. When the sax solo comes in…

I’m not a massive fan of most of their stuff but this is very good and I heard this version for the first time yesterday

I had a ticket to see Prince Buster at the Concorde 2 many years ago. Typically, as a lot of Jamaican artists, he didn't show up!
