And the winner of the 2011 Grammy for “Best Rocksteady Song by a Thai Band” goes to...T-BONE, for NUAD!!
I can’t stop singing this song, and I have no idea what I’m saying! “Ciao, chum. Oh Chung? She die...” Something like that. But the groove is really in place.
Another thing I like about this track is that it’s very authentic rocksteady, at least in the rhythm section, but also the melodic instruments have a weird Asain-Pacific sound. It’s good.
Also check the ‘ooh ooh’s: They remind me of Hepcat. Yes, T-Bone is the Thai Hepcat.

Besides posting my favorite recent Spotifinds, I’m trying to pick songs in an order that holds together—the songs are linked by tempo, or sometimes by feel or theme or whatever. If only we could mix on Spotify!
Anyway, I’m building these into a playlist, which can be found here: New Frontiers
Shut off your shuffle first.
