I love Sly & Robbie's cover of the Led Zeppelin classic D'yer Mak'er. Sly's crisp one drop drumming is a striking contrast to John Bonham's sledgehammer drum sound on Led Zeppelin's original version.

The vocalist is Mark Ice, a relative newcomer to dancehall music scene. Ice has sweet sounding voice than reminds me a lot of Johnny Clarke one of the first generation root reggae stars of the Seventies.
