Sticking with the sub-theme covers of film scores that we began with the previous post, let's go ahead and get into what may be one of my favorite covers of all time - Big Youth's cover of the "Theme from Shaft."
Covering a tune like this could go horribly wrong in the wrong hands, but this jam is just incredible. So laidback. Seriously hard chilling is the only thing you can really undertake while listening to this. Professional leisure.
Boy this sounds just like some of the stuff I got from the early King Tubby studio. Love the B3 hidden in the background! IRIE!
