Bim Skala Bim has posted a cover of Bob Marley’s “Easy Skankin'” on soundcloud. I’m really diggin’ the lead hook on trombone, the midtempo ska feel, and the twangy guitars on their version. If you pre-order their new record “Chet’s Last Call,” available August 17, you can download the song now.

Bim Skala Bim are finishing out their very busy summer with a Boston harbor Boat Cruise. Here are the details:
