Gone.
Everybody loves Black Uhuru, and rightfully so. Often overlooked, however, is the solo career of two-time Uhuru vocalist Don Carlos. The out-of-print Time Is the Master compilation is one of my favorite reggae albums. While he worked in a variety of settings in the '70s and '80s, the Rastafarian's pure voice and off-kilter sensibility are always entertaining. Much of Carlos' work is deliberately odd, from the implied violence of "Lazer Beam", to the righteous "Ababajoni," which threatens to break into full dub mode an any moment.

Hey man! Thanks for the shout-out. We're swinging at Harling's every Tuesday night!
I can't wait to attend, Clint. I'm on crutches now, but when I get a little stronger I'll climb those stairs.
