Odd. I could have sworn I posted that months ago - before the start of this thread - but couldn't turn it up. I love some of the guitar on that.

Maybe you did but it didn’t come up on a cursory search.

It played on the Reggae Express last Tuesday and I had forgotten how good it was.

The Specials with Hannah Hu - Listening Wind

That was bashment. I gotta check out more Hannah Hu. She was giving me Chrissie Hynde vibes. Hynde's reggae tunes are banging.

Chrissie Hynde did some reggae? Never heard that. She did an album of Dylan covers, but I thought it was pretty meh except for Tomorrow is a Long Time.
