Kentucky Skank produced by Lee Scratch Perry for Unknown Label in 1976
Kentucky Skank Riddim, cut by Lee Scratch Perry for an unknown label in 1976, brings together a short but characterful set with Jah Lloyd, Pat Francis, and Perry himself riding the groove. The tracklist leans on versions and deejay cuts, with Jah Lloyd’s Flashing Whip and Spiritual Whip, Perry’s Bathroom Skank, and The Upsetters’ Kentucky Skank giving the project its shape. The title tune is one of Perry’s better-known oddball productions, built on a sly, dubby pulse with the kind of offbeat sound effects and loose, playful energy that marked his mid-’70s work.
