mikey dread: at the controls dubwise

One of Jamaica's most endearing and creative DJ-broadcasters Mikey Dread helped carry dub into the 1980's with impressive sonic aplomb and also enjoyed an unusual crossover thanks to Dread's subsequent close collaboration with the Clash. Deft, charismatic technically accomplished and possessed of a vocal style that was loaded with magnetic appeal, this classic 1979 album was a break out achievement that cemented his reputation as a musical force to be reckoned with.
