2011, On-U Sound
If You Want Loyalty Buy a Dog is the culmination of a 25 year long musical partnership between producer Adrian Sherwood and musician Skip "Little Axe" McDonald. Skip's roots lie in the blues, first taught to him by his father while growing up in Dayton, Ohio. Adrian is considered one of the world's most versatile and prolific dub producers and a sonic visionary.
The new album features the legendary drummer, Style Scott, playing as a member of both the Dub Syndicate and Roots Radics ensembles, drawing on classic and new On-U rhythms. From start to finish this is a dynamic and uncompromising meeting of both forms of Roots music; reggae and blues. Immaculately played and defined as never before, If You Want Loyalty Buy a Dog is, in the eyes of McDonald and Sherwood, their finest work to date.
