The Neville Brothers Sing an Old Reggae Classic
The Nevilles sing a beautiful version of By the Rivers of Babylon
By the Rivers of Babylon- The Neville Brothers By the Rivers of Babylon is one of the earliest reggae songs and the lyrics are based of one of the biblical pslams of David. The most beautiful version of this oft recorded song is sung by the Neville Brothers. The New Orleans 2nd line riddim used by the Nevilles in a lot of their songs is strikingly similar to the one drop riddim of reggae. The brothers have enough reggae songs in their repetoire to record an full album of reggae music. I'm hoping they will someday.
