First it was "Dub Side of the Moon" and then "Radiodread." Now, the Easy Star All-Stars take on the most sacred album in rock 'n' roll and turn it into reggae. They join us for a live performance of songs from their record Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts.

That's my GIRL JO-SKI.....hittin' the silky velvety notes. Go JO-SKI........the BAND is gr8 too. NICE....we are YOU ALL going to be performing. Can't wait to see it live.
That's my cousin Michael! He's hit the big time now, all right.
With all due respect, Mr. Schaefer, you massacred the word, "imprimatur." It's not pronounced "im-pri-motter," it is "im-pri-mah-ter. That one hurt my ears!
Thanks for interviewing Michael Goldwasser and the Easy Star All-Stars. It was great!
The Beatles were citing reggae as early as She's A Woman. I'm sure John would be screaming downtown in a cab to sit in.
While all excellent music to cover, will the Easy Star's cover any American music makers, or does most American music not have a wealth of "concept albums"?
Folks, if you have not listened to Dub side of the Moon, and you are a Pink Floyd fan, you must listen to this, it is fantastic.
My brother instructed me (while a bit tipsy on the Jersey Shore about 10 years ago) that he wants "Spirit In the Sky" at his funeral and will play it at mine if I go first. He has since restated that desire while sober.
