Dread Beat an’ Blood
Album by Linton Kwesi Johnson
Dread Beat an' Blood is the debut studio album by Jamaican-born British dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, released in 1978. The record pairs Johnson's spoken-word dub poetry with reggae and dub rhythms, featuring prominent basslines, echoing delay effects and pared-back rhythmic backing, and helped establish the dub poetry approach within the British reggae scene.
