Peggy Lee vs. Bob Marley
Reggae Fever
Peggy Lee’s original recording is about as simple and bare as can be—just a single voice, with bass, finger snaps, and minimalist percussion.
I decided to fill the musical space w/cool ambient sounds from Bill Laswell’s dub/remix of Marley, a disc called Dreams Of Freedom. This tune sounds cool on headphones. And the Marley tune, of course, is Exodus.
