PASSION
"FIRE BRAIN"
The Uppressors joined with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Ras Tree, and member's of Bob Marley's band Inner Circle on the title track to the Reggea All-star tribute to the Police " Spirits in the Material World."
What the Critics are saying..............
...."The best cuts in Spirits in the Material World, A Reggae Tribute to The Police are the ones that bring the true essence of reggae to the pop sensibility of the songs: ...."De Do Do Do De Da Da Da...." by Toots & The Maytals, ...."Every Breath you Take...." by Joan Osborne, ...."Bed....'s Too Big Without You...." by Inner Circle, ...."Wrapped Around Your Finger...." by Cyril Neville, and ...."So Lonely...." by Gregory Isaacs. But the song that stands out over the rest is ...."Spirits in the Material World...." by New Orleans....'s legendary Big Chief Monk Boudreaux & The Uppressors with Ras Tree. His combination of seductive roots reggae beats with funk and R&B shows the best that reggae had to offer. Many forget that Bob Marley....'s music had a strong American R&B component, which combined with reggae, made it so attractive. ...." -- World Music Central
In 2003, The Voice of the Wetlands Organization released a record to raise money for their awareness campaign. The record was called S.O.S. (Save our Swamps). This record featured local and national acts that donated their time and music to help bring awareness to Louisiana's coastal erosion problem. The Uppressor's song Someday Somebody is the track of three that were chosen for the project.
This is a picture of the band standing on some of the debris that was fished out of the Gulf of Mexico. This picture don't tell 1/2 of it. The coast was pretty beaten up.
