Familyman in Dub : Aston Barrett

Be careful with this one, it's got heavy heavy base and bounding instrumental dubs straight through - 14 tracks total - Just under an hour ( about 57 minutes ) .  It's the perfect companion disc to Cobra Style (released off of the Heartbeat label in 1999).  Familyman in Dub was also released in 1999 off of the Heartbeat label.  Some selected tracks on this one are : #1 (Cobra Style Dub) a great version of the Familyman great, #2 (Steppers Rock) is a nice - slow instrumental dub - take your time, #3 (Familyman Skank) has a triumphant ring with a dominant horn instrumental dub out, #10 (A Distant Dub) all bass & horns, #14 (Dub Maker) this is ... one of the few tracks on the disc with full vocals - very nice.  Familyman opened the recent concert at the Belly Up in Solana Beach, CA with the Cobra Style / Dub - most everyone recognized that was going to be the beginning of a great show.  Familyman is one of the originals and we're very lucky to have him touring the West Coast.  Come back soon Familyman !!!
