The Frog is the first single from David Hillyard And The Rocksteady 7's new album Plague Doctor that's due out in May on Org Music. The single was recorded in New York, unlike the bands previous records that have been recorded old school as a band together in the studio, due to current restrictions this was put together from the basic rhythm tracks, with all the musicians adding their parts onto the basic tracks.
The Frog is a re-working of the Brazilian classic A Ra by Joel Donato that they have taken and turned into a cool Skatalites style Rock Steady delight with great horns and a gentle organ and the sax solo has echoes of Cannonball Adderley's work on his Bossa Nova album, this tune has a great lilting groove and will be fine to whine and grine too as the Xylophone solo adds a touch of Hamptonesque magic to this very infectious single.
