Summer’s here and it sure is hot. Turn up these reggae albums and start sipping on a few cold ones. Sit back, relax, listen, and enjoy this reggae and a six-pack.
Pure Reggae and Lawson’s Sip of Sunshine
Reggae is all about good vibes and sunshine. Well, time for a sip of that sunshine to accompany a collection of reggae hits. This collection, which originally was only available through a television mail-away advertisement, includes hits by Jimmy Cliff, Third World, and Desmond Dekker.
Buccaneer Da Opera and Stone’s Buenaveza
Buccaneer’s voice is unmistakable. and his hip-hop-influenced party continues all through the album. Pair this summer favorite with Stone Brewing’s take on a salt and lime lager, their Buenaveza.
Beenie Man Art and Life and Exhibit “A” ‘s Briefcase Porter
It may not be Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” but this song of the same name also deals with the perils of a workday. Although not the most seasonal, the briefcase porter is a perfect indicator of those long work days.
Steel Pulse True Democracy and Red Stripe lager
A classic reggae group and album, Steel Pulse is best represented by the most well-known and loved Jamaican beer, Red Stripe!
Bob Marley and the Wailers Catch a Fire and Cisco’s Gripah
The ultimate reggae artist, Bob Marley, is best associated with the island country of Jamaica. While not quite a country, Cisco is based in Nantucket, one of America’s best-loved islands.
Sean Paul Imperial Blaze and Stiegl’s Hell
Although this “hell” refers to an Austrian light beer, it still says ‘hell” on the can! There are many blazes in hell, see the relation? (Although Salzburg is not very close to Jamaica.) Crank up this dancehall album and sip this “hell” of a beer!
I hope the sunshine vibes are making you feel fine while sipping on this reggae and a six-pack. For more of the six-pack series check out; Kenny Rogers and a Six Pack, Traditional Folk and a Six Pack, or Heavy Metal and a Six Pack.
