Lincoln Journal Star/Ground Zero

Lincoln is one of the least likely places you'd expect to produce dub reggae, much less excellent dub reggae.

But that's just what RC Dub delivers on "Inna State of Dubmission," it's debut CD.

Formed in 2000, the five piece band adds trumpet and trombone to the standard bass-drums-guitar mix to create primarily instrumental music that wraps ska, rocksteady and jazz into the reggae rhythms. Original and complex, the music is echoing and spacey on "Dangerous Vudu," propulsive and driving on "Senor Ska" and playfully tuneful on "Mr. Green Genes."

Uniformly well played, "Inna State of Dubmission" catches the roots reggae groove on tracks such as "RC Citizen," ventures away from that classic sound without losing the beat on "Mango Tango" and other, more experimental cuts.
Immaculately produced, "Inna State of Dubmission" sounds great across all 17 of its tracks and is a perfect summer disc-just put it on in the hot sun and start the party.
