Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band: My Jamaican Dub / The Healer (Steel Pan Grace Jones Cover) Vinyl 7″
“Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band is back with another crushing two-sider that is guaranteed to set dancefloors on fire and get heads nodding around the globe. The mysterious steel pan outfit hailing from Hamburg, Germany have released a slew of classic 7”s and two critically acclaimed full length albums. Side A is BRSB’s take on Grace Jones’ nightclub classic ‘My Jamaican Guy’. Heavy duty drums and bass shake the speakers through the intro then the pans reveal what they are covering as they play the instantly recognizable top line of the original. BRSB has received a lot of praise for their choices of covers. Occasionally reworking hits, but, most notably pulling the album cut gems from artists typically more championed by the underground. Well…here they go again, covering Erykah Badu’s homage to the late great J Dilla “The Healer”. This is the type of thing to make Spice Adams jump on his kitchen counter and scream.” – Big Crown Records
