Babylon Too Rough

Killer mid 70s roots rocker from The Cool Ruler with the sound of babylon dubwise on the flip from The Mighty Two Joe Gibbs.

Gregory Isaacs' "Babylon Too Rough" is about the struggle against oppression and corruption, using "Babylon" to represent corrupt systems and forces. The track is a roots rocker that adapts the theme and melody of Dennis Brown's "Easy Take It Easy" and features a killer dub version on the flip side. The lyrics encourage a patient and resilient attitude ("easy, natty, easy") in the face of harsh realities ("Babylon too tough").
