    • 3. Sammy Dread – Rainy Days
    • 4. Freddy McKay – Gonna Be Sorry

    Sammy Dread and Freddy McKay take the lead roles and Papa Tullo picks up the gong for Best Supporting Toaster. Sammy and Freddy play counterpoint with their soulful styles, Dread with iron balls Stax throat gymnastics, McKay a Motown sweetness, all poise and grace. Each song has an extended Dub workout at the end to wave us off in style. Gigantic match up, not seen since McEnroe / Borg, just as epic, almost as long.
