Product Description

CD Description
Keith Hudson was one of the earliest dub artists from Jamaica. Dub is one of the offshoots of reggae, where a producer virtually recreates a song by using a studio mixing board toboost the bass and drums WAY up, and turning the song inside-out until all that remains are some snatches of vocal melody. Aside from his dub explorations, Hudson produced many ofthe greatest artists of reggae, among them Augustus Pablo, Delroy Wilson, U Roy, and Big Youth.
PICK A DUB is a re-release of Hudson's dub recordings (from 1974), which featurethe haunting melodica of Pablo and the bass and drums of Aston and Carlton Barrett. Compared to his peers King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry, Hudson's style of dub is much more earthy and heavily rhythmic, focusing more on the actual sounds of guitar, bass, and drums than on adding sound effects. While not quite as otherworldly sounding as Perry or Glen Brown, Hudson made dub that was powerful and even more direct and immediate. Dub fans (casual or obsessive) rejoice!

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic re-issue, a must for all real roots Dub fans., 8 Oct 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Pick a Dub [VINYL] (Vinyl)
Keith hudson - who died far too young - was one of the truly great inovators of the Dub style. Echo, phase and drop came as naturally to him as taking free kicks comes to David Beckham. This is one of the classic Roots albums of all times - equalled ony by Skin Flesh and Bones and King Tubby.

There are 12 great tracks - all of them crucial - but in particular "Don't Move" "In the Rain" and "I'm all Right".

5.0 out of 5 stars In my view, the greatest dub album of all time, 10 Oct 2008
By Mr. M. Taylor - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In my view, this is the greatest dub album of all time... subtle & sublime.

I first heard this in 1975 on the John Peel radio show, bought it immediately, and have loved it ever since.
