I've been listening the hell out of the newest Little Axe album. What a thriller! Who's Little Axe? Dude played guitar with Doug Wimbish (bass) and Keith LeBlanc (drums) on may of the early SugarHill Records classics like Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five's The Message as well White Lines. He also played on many of the Tommy Boy Records releases. From there he went to London to work with ON-U Sounds recordings with Adrian Sherwood, working on releases by Tackhead, Dub Syndivate, and African Head Charge. Take all those vibes and meld them into blues and you begin to get the Little Axe sound. Dig it:
From previous Little Axe albums, all highly worthy of your ducats:
This is a live version of probably my fave Little Axe track:
