This single just dropped courtesy of Easy Star Records and was definitely one I wanted to check out right away.  Double Tiger (who is AKA Jay Spaker) had a long run with seminal American reggae band John’s Brown’s Body, adding his guitar and vocal skills to their sound.  That group, which was started out in Ithaca, New York back in the mid-90’s, has some great albums you can check out if you have any interest in listening to their music.  A good starting point is All Time which was their 1996 debut but it is hard to find.  I was fortunate enough to have someone play a CD copy for me back in 2005 which I believe was some kind of a re-release of the original.  For an easier to find suggestion check out This Day from 2000.  

This new song from Double Tiger is a very melodic reggae style tune with some great horns adding warm textures right after a short rhythmic lead-in.  It carries a slow, groovy tempo throughout the track and has a great bass sound that provides a nice counterpoint to the drums.  Also featuring a mellow vocal line that still delivers poignant lyrics this single is a good listen and worth a spin when you are ready to indulge in some peaceful contemplation about keeping life a little more simple.

And if you have the inclination …think about purchasing it if you can as steaming music does not pay well even times a thousand.
