Reggae band covers Beatles' album `Sgt. Peppers'

Could the Beatles have been Rastafarians at heart? It's easy to wonder while listening to the Easy Star All-Stars reggae re-imagining of the Beatles' classic "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." After all, the Beatles did sing the famous lyric: "I get high with a little help from my friends." The Easy Star All-Stars, a collective of reggae musicians, will release their third album cover of a concept classic on April 14 with their "Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band." It follows their versions of Radiohead's "OK Computer" ("Radiodread") and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" ("Dub Side of the Moon"). [more]
