Wow! You really come from a reggae family. Luckily my parents at least had one Eddy Grant tape, that got me kinda hooked.

You didn't like Johnny Cash + Joe Strummer's version?

This is another great cover of Redemption Song with Ziggy Marley and the Chieftains. It's a strange combination, but it works beautifully.

The Congos "Open Up The Gates".
For me , it's the greatest reggae song .Even the Congos shouldn't sing it on stage actually (what a disaster,my friends).
Loud and Lone (a pays basque band) made a cover a few years ago but it missed,what bob called, "the natural mystic".
