Artist Easy Star All-Stars

As the moniker indicates, Easy Star All-Stars put a relaxed, dub-plated sheen on classics by the likes of Pink Floyd and Radiohead, among others. The resulting reworks, from a rotating cast of reggae musicians, comes complete with nifty titles like Dub Side Of The Moon and Radiodread. Full of horns and echoing beats, the cover group’s latest, 2009’s Easy Star’s Lonely Hearts Dub Band, is exactly what the listener would expect: a mellowed-out Beatles tribute with a rocksteady beat.
