The group grew out of Easy Star Records, a New York-based reggae label founded by native West Virginian Michael Goldwasser and three friends. After a flirtation with original material, the group made its name in 2003 covering Pink Floyd's <I>Dark Side of the Moon</i> in its entirety -- in dub style -- and calling it <I>Dub Side of the Moon</i>. The release was both musically interesting and thematically brilliant, combining two musical bastions of marijuana-smokers (reggae and <I>Dark Side of the Moon</i>) in one succinct release. A dub rendering of Radiohead's <I>OK Computer</i> followed in 2006; it cracked <I>Billboard</I> charts and remained there for some time. The group continues to alternately release original material and covers. - Sarah BardeenRoots Reggaeen720Fri, 4 Dec 2009 00:42:51 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6876291&rws=%2Feasy-star-all-stars-2%2Fmusic-videos.rss Easy Star All-Stars feature a rotating cast of 30 musicians (give or take) who've contributed to one of the most idiosyncratic bands in recent reggae history.
