Did this on Wednesday, hoping that JamaicaFest would prevail  :D

Here's some white boy acoustic(ish) reggae with a social commentary angle. Acoustic guitar, Danelectro (x2), & bass. Got the rhythm from a Reggae loop app on my iPhone (good fun to jam to...). All recorded on the MBR, then sound fx and clips added in Audacity.

The title is from the UK version of Monopoly 'Go back to old kent road, do not pass go, do not collect £200'. The Old Kent Road is a very poor part of London that I used to live quite near to.

Diggin' it, Greeny, diggin' it Jah. Works well, great lyrics as per usual. Has the very lightest touches of Ween, weirdly enough and possibly even weirder, it sounds almost Floyd-y/Gilmour-y too!! Make of that what you will... :D
