Tues Asa – Jailer

Interesting look at prison from the inside. The folks guarding the prisoners are just as much prisoners of the state as those behind the bars. “I wear uniforms, and you wear uniforms too.” Of course, we get the deeper message that everyone is being held down by a jailer in one fashion or another. “So you treat me like a modern slave.” We all kinda know that, so what makes this song worth eartasting? The music of course. And the voice. We are treated to some reggae flavored jazz dance with Asa keeping the tension just right in her voice to keep my attention smiling. Shoutouts for Bibanke and 360 Degrees. Asa
