US reggae group Easy Star All-Stars released their newest album, a re-imagined rendition of David Bowie’s classic ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders from Mars’, aptly entitled ‘Ziggy Stardub’, in April via Easy Star Records. The album features guest performances by Grammy-nominated reggae star Maxi Priest, Macy Gray, Steel Pulse, Fishbone, The Skints, and many others.
Blending musical versatility, instrumental prowess, beautiful vocal harmonies, and a premier rhythm section, Easy Star All-Stars have established themselves as one of the top international reggae acts on the scene for over two decades. On their last visit to the UK they played a very successful run of shows and appeared at a number of festivals in August 2023.
Previous releases of the band’s long-standing collection of tribute albums include ‘Dub Side of the Moon’ (2003), a critically acclaimed reggae re-working of Radiohead’s ‘OK Computer, ‘Radiodread’ (2006), Easy Star’s ‘Lonely Hearts Dub Band’ (2009), and Easy Star’s ‘Thrillah’ (2012), as well as the remix album ‘Dubber Side of the Moon’ (2010).
