Misty in Roots - The Peel Sessions


after watching the dvd of the recent ruts benefit show for foxy i felt i had to post this.they were one of the bands on the line-up and they were excellent.what a great show that was and i thought henry rollins was a fantastic vocalist for the night.anyway back to this post.its a compilation of 3 sessions(i think!).i have the dates and a full cover somewhere so until then youll have to make do with this one i found on the interweb.my fave track on here is 'wanderer' and its a great,great track.as you all probably know the ruts sung 'jah war' was written about clarence baker, a member of the collective of singers and musicians that made up the original lineup of the band.so there you have it.put this on loud,relax,enjoy and leave a comment.thanks!
