Sorry, but this is about as far from 'real' reggae as it can be without falling over. Don't get me wrong, I like Toots and have seen him play a number of times over the years, but this is NOT reggae.

Though played much too often, it does hold up. Nice upbeat kind of song. Fun to listen too. More!{#Nyah}

"Tentivity"?  That seems like a somewhat cromulent word.

Well done and like the addition of EC guitar, but after about a minute...I tire of this. I know, I know...it's MY problem.

Weird coincidence.  Toots' facebook just put this up http://soundcloud.com/phree/03-pressure-drop/s-vpfJK

It's from his upcoming Unplugged album for charity.  Odd hearing the same tune twice in 10 minutes.

Great song, terrible version.  Irreparably marred by Clapton's wah-wah-wanking throughout the whole flippin' song.  Honestly, it sounds like some talented teenager who just got his first Crybaby:  No judgement on when to play or when to use the effect pedal, just indiscriminately vomiting notes everywhere.  Not what we have come to expect from Mr. Clapton. 

 
I see your point, but it's still a pretty good song IMO.

This whole Ckapton and friends thing is so much overrated. This song sucks from the beginning.

That was Toots & the Maytals on the soundtrack.  Jimmy Cliff starred in the movie and did several of the songs on the soundtrack, but not all of them.
 

I pulled that soundtrack out and listened to it in my car this past weekend. Excellent, excellent CD. I'd forgotten how good it is.
