Horn heavy, instrumental reggae from a former Skatalite and one time member of the Specials. Rico’s played trombone alongside anyone of note in the UK and done time in more JA studios than there’d even be time to list here.
So, for those of you who don’t live in balmy climates, crank this one up and the five months until spring won’t seem too bad.

Moving past the ‘90s ska thing that kinda made him a name in nerdly communities, Victor Rice embarked on an astounding solo career by releasing dub tracks through Megalith Records and other various independent imprints. While the bassist and producer has called Brazil home for a good long while, those of us elsewhere can still take a listen to Rice re-working a classic in the form of “Strikkly Vikkly.”
Shouts to Caroline Bittencourt for the image.

Chicago area reggae and dub ensemble the Drastics seem to be able to crank new work out at will. Not too long ago, there was a timely MJ tribute. And now the group’s begun its march towards all things digital as it unlooses some tracks through the ubiquitous iTunes. Take a listen.
