Double Barrel - Dave & Ansell Collins

A dub plate with exhilarating toasting. A rocking beat from Sly Dunbar interlocks with bass, guitar, organ & wonky piano to create a rich matrix of sound off which Dave’s vocal bounces like a pinball racking up a high score. Good God!

Dave & Ansel Collins - Double Barrel (Official Audio)

Official audio for Double Barrel by singer Dave Barker and keyboard player Ansel Collins, released by Trojan Records in 1970 and a UK Number One chart hit the following year!
