Album Review: BYRON LEE AND THE DRAGONARIES - Dance The Skain
In a world where music seems to take itself so seriously, Byron Lee and The Dragonaries are here to remind us that sometimes, you just need to let loose and dance the skain. The British English ska band’s latest album is a whirlwind of infectious rhythms and cheeky lyrics that will have you tapping your feet and grinning from ear to ear.
From the moment the opening track "Skankin' With Byron" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The band’s energy is infectious, and you can't help but get swept up in their enthusiasm. The horn section is tight, the bass lines are groovy, and Byron Lee’s vocals are as smooth as silk.
Tracks like "Two-Tone Tango" and "Rude Boy Shuffle" are instant classics, with catchy hooks that will be stuck in your head for days. But it's the slower, more introspective moments like "Ska By Moonlight" that really showcase the band’s talent and versatility.
Byron Lee and The Dragonaries have been in the game for years, and it shows. They know how to craft a killer ska tune, and Dance The Skain is a testament to that. So grab your dancing shoes, turn up the volume, and get ready to skank the night away with Byron Lee and The Dragonaries. Trust us, you won't regret it.
