Keith Hudson

[version]

I was saying in another thread I only discovered him maybe a couple of years ago, but better late than never, eh?

That tune's like a Leone/Morricone Western set in a rainforest.

Sold.

I might have this wrong, but isn't Hudson responsible for the first dub LP with Pick A Dub? So a proper innovator. The album you posted is also notable for being an actual album rather than just a bunch of singles.

I have Brand somewhere which is an amazing record.

Digging in, cheers

Love his NY Disco-tinged stuff:


Heartbreaking, as covered by New Order:


Deep, deep, deep, DEEP roots:

Dentist On The Wire

3 Hour Keith Hudson special

playing it cool, playing it straight out of Blackburn, BBC Lancashire, originally broadcast on a Sunday afternoon some time in the early 1990s

memory is kind of cloudy, but I can dimly recall sitting beside my "ghetto blaster" with a pile of TDK C90s, finger on pause button, ready to record

"sounds good
like you know it should"

YES STAR! with a right click of your musical wrist you'll save a fortune ( and years of time of searching for rare Hudson 45s )

edit: although I may be mixed up, I know for sure that I'd tape these 3 hour Sunday afternoon specials on BBC Lancashire and then spend years hunting down the tunes

bonus: a William_Kent mini playlist - playing it cool, Kent no fool, using one riddim like a knife

@kid charlemagne Bob Dylan is a pretty good songwriter, but this pisses all over his recorded work



Keith Hudson - I Shall be released

still, even I will admit that Keith Hudson's cover version is piss poor when compared to this reggae do-over of a Bobby Zimmerman tune any day now



Freddie McGregor & Studio One All stars - I Shall be released


I SEE THE LIGHT COME SHINING!

FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST!

ANY DAY NOW!

I SHALL BE RELEASED!
