The Upsetters – Eastwood Rides Again

Limited edition of 1000 numbered copies on turquoise coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Eastwood Rides Again is the follow up to Lee 'Scratch' Perry & The Upsetters previous classic, Return Of Django and draws heavily on funk and rhythm and blues. The mixture of Lee Perry production and at times pure American funk lead to great results. That unique Perry percussion lurking underneath all of the tracks keep them from just being straight rhythm and blues or funk tracks. The tracks may be too straightforward to fans of later Perry productions, but the songs are tight and funky. The album is a fantastic collection of instrumentals that show that some of the best rhythm and blues was coming from Jamaica. It makes a strong case for the supremacy of the Jamaican sound. Eastwood Rides Again fits nicely as another gem in their catalog. Lee 'Scratch' Perry was a pioneer in the 1970s development of dub music and worked together with artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, The Clash and the Beastie Boys.
