Product Description

Three years after the accidental overdose of Sublime's BradNowell prematurely derailed the band's impending success, his rhythm section (Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh) reconvened with the Long Beach Dub Allstars. Joined by a cadre of friends,Wilson and Gaugh became a California version of Sly & Robbie for this posse of reggae lovers. Having already made theirmark backing up the Wailing Souls on PSYCHEDELIC SOULS, theLong Beach Dub Allstars' RIGHT BACK is a smooth transition that finds this septet collaborating with a number of dancehall legends.
Among the musical guests are Bad Brains frontman HR ("New Sun"), master toaster Half Pint ("Pass It On"), and UK dancehall king Tippa Irie ("Sensi"). Non-reggae cameos include Pennywise guitarist Fletcher on "My Own Life" and Tone Loc soundalike Dangr, whose excellent lyrical flow dominates "Kick Down". Throughout RIGHT BACK, the LBDA maintain an easygoing rhythmic fluidity that bubbles through the punk-pop of "Rosarito" and the autobiographical "Trailer Ras".Tying together this genre-busting experience is a guest spot by lover's rock legend Barrington Levy that opens and closes the album. Levy's contributions to the reverb-heavy "Righteous Dub" are only surpassed by a poignant reworking of Sublime's "Saw Red".

long beach dub allstars
Wow, just got this album through the post and it's definately an antidote to Sublime deficiency! If you liked sublime, get this, if you didn't, get this.

Excellent album
I got this ages ago , IT IS simply wicked Kick down is the song of the album . Rosarito runs a close second , but it is superb all the songs rock good cross between rock punk reggae and hip hop in all songs not better album to spend some money on .Go on make Lou dog even fatter , buy this album you won't regret it

Sublime back for another RuN
Welllllll being a sacred sublime fan when i heard the remaining members had formed a new band i thought it would suck but i have to admit man its a heavy album filled with the old ways of reggae Ska punk and rock but with more dubs and added jazz so there nothing to lose! best songs are rosarito and sensi cauze there wikkked. there'll never be a sublime but there close! RiP Bradley (we didnt know u but lyrically u blessed us)
