Maxi Priest to Join British Reggae Band UB40

Friday May 2, 2008
According to the BBC, Maxi Priest and Duncan Campbell will be joining the British reggae band UB40 for their upcoming dates. The addition of Duncan Campbell is an interesting one, as Duncan will be replacing his brother Ali, who quit acrimoniously earlier this year. Ali Campbell's voice, to me, is what defines UB40's sound, so it will certainly be interesting to see if his brother inherited a similar set of vocal cords. I'm also curious as to how Christmas dinner will shake down at the Campbell house this year.

Lots of “true dat”s and “yes, his voice does define that band” and other noises of appreciation and confirmation.
Thanks for the news.
