A Reefur Smoking Pooch? No, it's Collie Buddz!

To be honest when I first heard about this cat I had to ask a couple times. Quite a name for a kid born Colin Harper in Nawlins (for the uninitiated, it's New Orleans), Louisiana. He was raised in Bermuda and apparently the Caribbean breezes seeped into his system because he is currently causing a sensation on the reggae scene.

I looked him up and his music is part roots and part dancehall meaning some of his songs are either one or the other. Like Matisyahu or the more rootsy Soldiers of Jah Army (more about them in an upcoming post), some folks may be a bit put-off by a white boy performing reggae, but at least he does the genre some justice. Did I mention he's also pretty hot? Here's Come Around off his eponymous album, Collie Buddz.

This one's for you, January!
