With the release of this ‘LKJ in Dub vol 3’ (ten years after ‘LKJ in Dub vol.2’ and twenty after the first chapter) Linton Kwesi Johnson confirms his love and deep attachment for the musical aspect of his work, and that’s such an unusual thing among the so-called dub poets, who often tend to dismiss the musical part of their production willing to emphasise its literary identity. Not LKJ, he has always been a full-circle reggae artist, and a great one. And so, this third chapter of his dub excursions - always in company of his fellow bassist-dubmaster, the great Dennis Bovell - showcases Linton (who also grabs the controls at the mixing desk) debuting on bass. The set is in the most part composed of the dub versions of the tracks present in LKJ’s last vocal album, ‘More Time’, released in 1998, with the addiction of a couple of fresh riddim tracks, and confirms the duo’s verve and inventive while creating dub vibes which allows them to give birth here to a string of dub versions absolutely delicious, never repetitive, and always captivating. A fresh and enjoyable work, highly recommendable for all the dub music lovers.
