East of the River Nile

Released

Some dub feels like the ache of the earth itself. This is not that. Pablo is a very enthusiastic keyboard and melodica player and his mood is always vaguely cheerful, which is tough with an instrument that has so much of the high lonesome cowboy feel to it. With Lee Perry engineering and Wailer Carlton Barrett on drums, this is a percolating and bright thing.
