Happy Holidays from Dread Air!
We travel down to Jamaica for the holidays for a reggae Christmas: both originals and classics done reggae-wise, rock steady-wise and ska-wise, by The Kingstonians, legends The Heptones, Alton Ellis, Horace Andy, Brent Dowe, Freddie McGregor hoping you have an “Irie Christmas,” Gregory Isaacs telling of his tribulations spending “Christmas Behind the Bars,” Jacob Miller and Ray I from their seminal 1978 Natty Christmas album, and lastly, Gee C.’s favorite, Johnny Clarke backed by The Aggrovators with his version of “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” mixed by King Tubby!
