Scientific Ska with soul

"Once again, Hepcat follows trough with an album that follows the traditional sound of 60's ska with the right amount of jazz and soul. The smooth vocals of Lee and Barry blend well with a tight rhythm section and joyous horns. Tracks like the infectious "Bobby and Joe" provide a good counterpoint to slower and more contemplative tunes like "Solo". For those fans of jazz-like ska, try "Yokozuna" for a good listen. A great album, and one of the best ska albums in recent years."

Roots Ska down to the Beat

"This CD is by far one of the greatest finds I have made--thanks to down loading music. If you take your ska back to its roots, this is the album for you. In the vein of their modern peers, the Toasters, this Hepcat's album takes the ska sound back to the original 1950's and 60's rude boys of Jamaica. The Hepcats are true to their predecessors--the Skatalites, King Tubby, Desmond Decker, and others. This is not your neighbors ska-core, this is real island ska.Buy it, you wont regret it."

Hepcat has done it again!
