Big Ska Band has been together for over 25 years and has recorded five albums to date including 'Skallelujah', 'Big Ska', '55:22', 'Revival' and this new self titled. The group is led by Grammy winning producer Joe Ferry, whose credits include 'Hi Bop Ska' and 'Greetings From Skamania' by The Skatalites; and 'The Age of Insects', 'Hit Me' and 'Punk Steady' by SKAndalous Allstars. On this ten track album the band's lead vocals are shared by Joey Ray, who is one of the most in-demand session singers in New York City, and Corey Glover from Grammy Award winning rock legends Living Colour. Stylistically, the album delivers something for everyone - up tempo third wave skankers with hi-octane horns and gang chorus, laid back summer reggae jams, jazzy Skatalites instrumentals, cover tributes (including Radiohead's 'Creep' and a stadium rock medley), rub-a-dubby steppers and much more. Guests include Uzimon (vocals and toasting), Vinnie Noble (Bim Skala Bim / Pilfers) throws down some manic trombone and arranged all the horns with saxophonist Neal Spitzer, Guitarist Dan Kottmann (credits include Tom Jones, Jeff Beck, Sheryl Crow, Santana), drummer Alan Jax Bowers (Parrot Beach / Jimmy Buffett) plus some studio wizardry to include samples of The Skatalites, courtesy of Shanachie Records. To round out the release sleeve art and lettering was and painted by Joe Ferry himself. First time on colored vinyl, on red limited to 200 copies. Tracklisting: Side A: 1. Big Mouth 2. Mon A Drunk 3. Skallawalla 4. Ska Boss 5. Rock 'N Roll PT II Side B: 1. Carry On 2. Skalloween 3. Creep 4. Don Go Bang 5. Sympathy
