Our Take

Lee "Scratch" Perry's "People Funny Boy" is a trip down a funky, psychedelic rabbit hole that only the mad genius of the reggae world could create. With his trademark eccentricity and off-the-wall production, Perry takes listeners on a wild ride through his twisted, mind-bending musical landscape.

From the moment the album kicks off with the hypnotic rhythms of "People Funny Boy," you know you're in for a bizarre and exhilarating journey. Perry's signature dub soundscapes are on full display, blending with soulful vocals and trippy effects to create a sonic experience like no other.

Tracks like "I Am The Upsetter" and "Chicken Scratch" showcase Perry's knack for pushing the boundaries of traditional reggae music, infusing his own unique brand of weirdness into every note. The basslines are deep, the beats are infectious, and the overall vibe is just plain funky.

But what truly sets "People Funny Boy" apart is Perry's playful and mischievous spirit that shines through in every track. Whether he's singing about social issues or just messing around with bizarre lyrics, there's a sense of fun and irreverence that is impossible to resist.

In the end, "People Funny Boy" is a testament to Lee "Scratch" Perry's status as a true musical icon. With its infectious grooves, mind-bending production, and overall charm, this album is a must-listen for anyone who loves music that's a little bit strange, a little bit wild, and a whole lot of fun.
