This is very much part of the musical tradition that the Specials were part of. 7 from the Nottingham jury. This is the Rico Rodriguez that plays on some of the Specials songs I think.

| prickelpit96 (Hannover, Germany) | Posted: Aug 20, 2007 - 01:57 Have had this kind of stuff last weekend for 3 days on the 'Reggae Jam'-festival. Always nice....   |
| ziggytrix (Dallas, TX) | Posted: Jul 19, 2007 - 14:07 slow it down, slap on a ridiculous amount of reverb, some echo, and turn the volume up a couple decibels and it'd be perfect. :) |

Driving 1000km plus Rico would be heard either in - Denmark - Sweden - Netherlands - Belgium - France - Italy - Switzerland - Hungary - Czechia - Poland ... But I agree, that the music is perfect for driving smooth...  |
