Greetings I,
Does anyone know the artist that sings 'Tribulation' at Jack Ruby's yard in the Deep Roots 'Ghetto Riddims' episode. Jack identifies the guy on gituar as Mickey Simpson, but the dread is not named. Wicked tune. Check the episode here...

hi Big Krawl
according to the book "Deeper Roots" (Howard Johnson & Jim Pines), page 113, the guy you mention is
Tribulation Man(alongside Mikey Simpson)
He was found the same day singing by a riverside...
One Love

Excellent footage!
At first I thought it was Pablo Moses.....actually he resembles Jah Lewis quite a bit.

RESPECT! I'll have to check the CD. Makes you wonder how many of those cats that auditioned in the yard actually cut a record.

There was a thread discussing the same questions but about the Jack Ruby auditions on the Roots rock reggae documentary over on blood and fire a few weeks back. There must have been so much wated talent passed through his yard, shame......
