There is nothing quite like an ice cold drink on a hot summer day. Musically speaking, reggae is that drink. Songs that bring to mind the tropics. Sunshine, blue skies, sandy beaches, palm trees, ocean breezes, etc...
Originally by Toots & The Maytals, and featured in the 1972 film The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff, "Pressure Drop" is probably (ok almost certainly) my favorite reggae song of all time. I can't really give a specific reason why I like the song so much. It's just a grrreat upbeat song. So in the spirit of the summer, here are a few different versions of the song. Lace up your dancing shoes and do the reggay.
MP3 | Toots & The Maytals - Pressure Drop
MP3 | The Clash - Pressure Drop
MP3 | Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds - Pressure Drop
MP3 | The Specials - Pressure Drop
MP3 | Toots & The Maytals (ft. Eric Clapton) - Pressure Drop
MP3 | Monty Alexander w/ Ernest Ranglin - Pressure Drop
MP3 | The Oppressed - Pressure Drop

Excellent blog! Dig the title; just saw Lifetime last night. Is the title of this post a Plow reference? Because that would be ridiculous.
Thanks Chaz. We're going to see Lifetime in one week. And yes, the post title is a Plow reference. I sure do love me some Plow.
