On a mission to fight ignorance, apathy and social retardation, The Process has been at the center of attention and controversy , while breaking new ground with their uncompromising attitude and performances.

From his time fronting Detroit's premier reggae / rock band, <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/5058782-The-Process-11">The Process</a>, to his more recent work with <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/8535444-DAB-David-Asher-Band">DAB</a>, he's been putting out original music for over 30 years.<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://dabdavidasherband.bandcamp.com/album/jah-shield">Listen to Jah Shield </a></p><p style="text-align: center;">The first new single since 2021's self-titled DAB LP does not disappoint. From the start of the track one finds themselves immersed with infectious rhythms and positive vibrations.<br /><br />David's vocal delivery is raw and soulful, lyrical content is righteous. According to Asher... "about the Creator's protection from jealous bad-minded people, vampires and back-biters." The instrumentation sounds fresh, reggae lovers will want to hear this.<br /><br />Production is high quality, by Mr. Asher and <a href="https://www.discogs.com/artist/8535447-Christopher-Lewis-10">Chris Lewis</a>. the sound is full, rich and crystal clear. Played in a club, this one is sure to get some motion on the dance floor! <br /><br />Get the digital release, including instrumental version, from Bandcamp.<br /><br /><a href="https://dabdavidasherband.bandcamp.com/album/jah-shield ">https://dabdavidasherband.bandcamp.com/album/jah-shield </a></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rs87l535d4d-YdD-C4uiOQaALTjIByCaQi-PISkGdbrI0_dz6S509ypvAix5ArEz0I3EC51NdGtgtQ7HpHEINPl1j-ZL2ZmkxMFzGtZeex5PTdLZw2R4_oLgi8tmpY2z22XfYPVp1igW9yqu7BhYU9LIvnOikTyv6mg-VHUKGrcBAQGYh1VSyA/s2048/C.C.O.N.Lions.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1707" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6rs87l535d4d-YdD-C4uiOQaALTjIByCaQi-PISkGdbrI0_dz6S509ypvAix5ArEz0I3EC51NdGtgtQ7HpHEINPl1j-ZL2ZmkxMFzGtZeex5PTdLZw2R4_oLgi8tmpY2z22XfYPVp1igW9yqu7BhYU9LIvnOikTyv6mg-VHUKGrcBAQGYh1VSyA/s320/C.C.O.N.Lions.png" width="267" /></a></div><br /> <br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <br /></p>The Processhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16206056307952936365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13450463.post-52269361265725464032023-11-01T10:36:00.001-07:002023-11-01T10:36:12.387-07:00"Jah Shield" Dab David Asher Band full single released today! <p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiirJYgvG19ftvLH99FWI1EOZk8pvALPoVy34G_XFk0PJ_LD12NyWL0g7m05i-TmFOIlGTrp0mGaWZxK8I7d9WINrfZh6TFj9ZCPLdXfYvj8q1LTsH0d5S-yMZeUH0SYVIM2de7hkExKed0GCiiOuk3daYFTLbetemdys74DzncJ-LJBK_s9nfD6g/s1200/Jah%20Shield%20cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiirJYgvG19ftvLH99FWI1EOZk8pvALPoVy34G_XFk0PJ_LD12NyWL0g7m05i-TmFOIlGTrp0mGaWZxK8I7d9WINrfZh6TFj9ZCPLdXfYvj8q1LTsH0d5S-yMZeUH0SYVIM2de7hkExKed0GCiiOuk3daYFTLbetemdys74DzncJ-LJBK_s9nfD6g/s320/Jah%20Shield%20cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;">Full release today!

In whispered hushes, fans told me about this enigmatic frontman. I mentally pictured a mysterious and shamanic wildman casting a musical spell. Everyone had the same message of, “Go see them. You won’t be disappointed.” Sadly, the stars never aligned to allow such a thing to happen. Years later, I came across this release by the David Asher Band (DAB). Once I confirmed that this was the same near-mystical David Asher, I bought a copy. I’m damn glad that I did, too!<br /><br />Okay. Full disclosure, I’m not big on liner notes. I’ll keep things tight by summing up DAB as a group. It's nothing short of an amazing collective of talented Michigan musicians. They've come together to deliver these amazing and memorable songs. Let’s start with the cover tunes on this album: <br /><br />1. "Keep On Moving" by Bob Marley<br /><br />2. "Give A Hand" by Gregory Isaacs<br /><br />3. "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan<br /><br />4. "Love Ballad" by LTD<br /><br />5. "Love Ballad Instrumental" by LTD<br /><br />In short, DAB masterfully aces all these cover songs. And in doing so, they achieve what few local bands do in this regard. DAB masterfully strikes a balance between honoring the original and making the songs their own. The standout is "Love Ballad." David and guest vocalist Miss Mikki Sound create a soulful ballad atop a great jam from the band. The track is as smooth as silk, and every bit as evocative of any of the great soulful love duets of the 70s. Perhaps even better. (If this song isn’t used in a future movie or TV series, a great injustice will be done to music fans and DAB.<br /><br />Bravo to David and the band on the covers! Now, I’m excited to change gears to what really attracted me to this release: the band’s original music. Let’s take a look at this body of work track by track: <br /><br />1. "47 Shots (The Ballad Of Milton Hall)" - Reggae wouldn’t be reggae without a protest song. This number is DAB’s contribution to the genre. In it, Asher shares his take on the tragic case of Milton Hall, a man killed by Saginaw police. Like the title of the song suggests, Mr. Hall was shot 47 times. DAB transforms its righteous fury into a tune that moves and grooves with a funk all its own. The band’s razor-sharp musicianship and Asher’s soulful vocals are on full display here.<br /><br />2. "Keep A Little Faith" - The world can grind us down and we could use a musical pick-me-up. DAB delivers here. This upbeat number shares a kinship with Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.” That said, this tune maintains more than enough originality to stand on its own. Each note of this inspirational number leads us to a promised land of tranquil positivity.<br /><br />3. "Deputy Dawg And The Marshall" - I don’t know the story behind this song but I’m sure it’s an interesting one. What I can say is that all of DAB’s strengths are on display here. Excellent storytelling and singing combine with music as warm and rich as honey from the jar. Highlights include a background vocal arrangement, rap monologue, and humorous tribute to “The Good the Bad and the Ugly.” DAB pulls these elements together to forge a song that’s as fun as it is catchy.<br /><br />4. "There's A Fire" - I’m a lyricist at heart, so it came as a shock that this one was the standout for me. I say that because “There’s a Fire” is not lyrically complex, but that’s NOT a bad thing. The fire Asher sings about is his burning passion for his music. You'll be warmed by the heat from that inferno within the confines of this catchy number. This song is a dance number and a damn fine one at that! If you don’t hit the dance floor while it's playing, then you don’t have a pulse. It’s as simple as that.<br /><br />5. "Donkey Jawbone" - This song makes a great showpiece for Asher’s powerful vocals. I almost feel guilty for saying it, though. It could appear that I’m slighting the other hardworking members of DAB. Rest assured, I'm not. The band is on point here too. And its inspirational message encourages the small to stand up to the mighty. DAB’s signature hypnotic flow state is on full display. So is the group's ability to rise above the current to showcase excellent workmanship. Musically, this number covers a lot of ground while being rooted in something exceptional. Sit back and enjoy!<br /><br />6. "Donkey Dub" - I’m no reggae purist. I am a lover of great music, and THIS is it! The song is mixed by legendary British Dubmaster Adrian Sherwood. Based on a solid melody, the horn section melds with its a slinky bassline, steady drums, Caribbean poly-rhythmic percussion, and echoing guitar and clavichord effects. The result is a jam that's powerful and hypnotic. If you’re looking to travel deep into your inner space while your body sways and moves to the beat, this is your ticket. Enjoy the ride!<br /><br />All in all, this is a great album for reggae AND all-around music fans. Normally, I'd tell you to “support your local artist” by buying this release. I’m not going to that here though. Too many reviewers fall back on the local angle in hopes of selling sub-standard art. DAB’s great work here is easily good enough to be on a NATIONAL level. Get it for that. Like I said above, you need it in your life.</span><p style="text-align: center;"><b>Buy DAB David Asher Band:</b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://dabdavidasherband.bandcamp.com/album/dab">Bandcamp</a></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/DAB-David-Asher-Band/dp/B08WKC7BT7">Amazon</a></b></p><p><i><b>J.P.

But no, David Asher is based in Michigan, was once the front man of a reggae rock band called The Process and now heads the group that bears his name. Their debut release is an impressive slab of reggae with rock, funk, Latin and country overtones. Asher is adept on numerous instruments and has a husky, unencumbered voice that serves handily on covers of “Keep on Moving” and “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door “ as well as his own hard-hitting material. The latter includes fact-based musical tales of law enforcement gone frighteningly awry (“47 Shots,” “Deputy Dawg and the Marshall”) and songs like “Keep a Little Faith” that hold true to the easygoing steadfastness that has always been one of reggae’s defining features. There’s also a pair of tracks with corresponding dubs- “Donkey Jawbone” and “Love Ballad” -that were mixed by On.U Sound mastermind Adrian Sherwood and deliver the level of mysticism and measured sonic thrills one would expect from that crafty Brit. It’s always good to come across reggae from my sizable American homeland that has the right balance of outside and inside influences, and this disc is a prime example. –Tom Orr<br />Temple Gong Recordings <a href="https://www.amazon.com/DAB-David-Asher-Band/dp/B08WRNVCY6"><b>buy now</b></a><br /></span></div><div><p></p></div>The Processhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16206056307952936365noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13450463.post-60049661370233681772021-08-05T06:50:00.004-07:002021-08-05T06:50:26.365-07:00DAB David Asher Band performs at Rainbow Farms Full spectrum cup music and arts festival!!<p style="text-align: center;"> <span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" dir="auto">This Friday August 6th, 9:00 to 11:00 pm <span><a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl oo9gr5id gpro0wi8 lrazzd5p" href="https://www.facebook.com/dabdavidasherband/?__cft__[0]=AZVkojvZh7rCWd_v2FXgg_WB_j4U-oO1-r8tnaNEdQ0OwXmiLEJeNoaWkW5P7a_SlvO9Ha-Gz4Ab5XsoCJ9I0isyMrB528527CdHN1kZu76A5otRf5iSxCCU3X0fTruc2OjWT96bO3vyygakV6uXJPCY&__tn__=kK*F" role="link" tabindex="0"><span class="nc684nl6"><span>DAB David Asher Band</span></span></a></span> performs at <span><a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl oo9gr5id gpro0wi8 lrazzd5p" href="https://www.facebook.com/OFFICIALRAINBOWFARMS/?__cft__[0]=AZVkojvZh7rCWd_v2FXgg_WB_j4U-oO1-r8tnaNEdQ0OwXmiLEJeNoaWkW5P7a_SlvO9Ha-Gz4Ab5XsoCJ9I0isyMrB528527CdHN1kZu76A5otRf5iSxCCU3X0fTruc2OjWT96bO3vyygakV6uXJPCY&__tn__=kK*F" role="link" tabindex="0"><span class="nc684nl6"><span>Rainbow Farms</span></span></a></span> <span><a class="oajrlxb2 g5ia77u1 qu0x051f esr5mh6w e9989ue4 r7d6kgcz rq0escxv nhd2j8a9 nc684nl6 p7hjln8o kvgmc6g5 cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x jb3vyjys rz4wbd8a qt6c0cv9 a8nywdso i1ao9s8h esuyzwwr f1sip0of lzcic4wl oo9gr5id gpro0wi8 lrazzd5p" href="https://www.facebook.com/events/218103806827797/?__cft__[0]=AZVkojvZh7rCWd_v2FXgg_WB_j4U-oO1-r8tnaNEdQ0OwXmiLEJeNoaWkW5P7a_SlvO9Ha-Gz4Ab5XsoCJ9I0isyMrB528527CdHN1kZu76A5otRf5iSxCCU3X0fTruc2OjWT96bO3vyygakV6uXJPCY&__tn__=-UK*F" role="link" tabindex="0"><span class="nc684nl6"><span>Full spectrum cup music and arts festival!!Rainbow farms</span></span></a></span> Be there! <span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"></span><span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"></span><span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu"></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v knj5qynh oo9gr5id" dir="auto"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

(David Asher Band). Hailing from Detroit, MI, David is no new-comer to music making, having spent over 30 years leading reggae / rock band, The Process.<br />The group consists of David Ivory on guitar, William Petzold on bass, organ and backing vocals, Derick Davis on drums & percussion, and David Asher handling vocals, guitar, piano and various other roles, as well as various guests and contributors, including U.K.'s legendary dub-master and producer extraordinaire, Adrian Sherwood.<br />A version of Curtis Mayfield's "Keep On Moving" gets things started, followed by a Gregory Isaacs cover, "Give A Hand" featuring guest, Mike Cooper, on lap steel guitar. An awesome remake with a brief taste of David's raggamuffin lyrical flow.<br />"47 Shots (The Ballad Of Milton Hall)" tells an all-too-common story of unjust death at the hands of law enforcement. This particular story is about Milton Hall, a mentally ill man who was killed on July 1, 2012 in Saginaw, MI for stealing a cup of coffee, no federal charges were filed against the nine officers who fatally shot him 11 times, as is too frequently the case when it comes to police brutality. One thing that I love about reggae music is the social consciousness, and the artist's ability to tell dire tales of reality, strife and desperation, bringing attention to injustice while simultaneously emanating positive vibes and soothing the soul... the horn arrangement by Nicholas Peña greatly contribute to that juxtaposition on this tune. <br />Another cover, and a childhood favorite of mine, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," written by the great Bob Dylan, is the next track, in a rub-a-dub style.<br />"Keep A Little Faith" is a David Asher original and the first tune released on the D.A.B. ReverbNation page, an uplifting message to hold tight, especially during these trying times.<br /><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/32187500?pwc%5Bbranded%5D=1"><br /></a><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/32187500?pwc%5Bbranded%5D=1">Cli</a><a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/open_graph/song/32187500?pwc%5Bbranded%5D=1">ck here to hear "Keep A Little Faith"</a><br /><br />"Deputy Dawg and the Marshall" is an original, co-written by William Petzold, and another real-life tale of violence committed in the name of the law.<br />The most unique cut on the album, to me, is "There's A Fire," written by Asher. The down beat drives the tight, electronic feel of the rhythm and the percussion and horns are, well... fire! Heart-felt lyrics top it off quite nicely, too.<br />"Donkey Jawbone (On-U Sound Mix)" was originally recorded by The Process in 1992, re-recorded and brought to Ramsgate for the mix by Mr. Sherwood. The CD includes an instrumental version, too.<br />The final tune is a lovers rock duet with Mikki Sound, "Love Ballad (On-U Sound Mix)" covers the Skip Scarborough written r & b hit for the reggae lovers. There's also an instrumental version of this featured on the CD.<br />Overall, the album is a solid debut and David continues to be an inspiration to CULTCHA Clash Outer National (it was his request that I review the 2016 The Process album, Who Is That Mad Band?, which was the impetus of establishing the "digital zine" aspect of C.C.O.N.). It will be available on vinyl, CD and digitally, pre-order at Bandcamp.<br /><br /><a href="https://dabdavidasherband.bandcamp.com/album/dab">D.A.B.

Now under the moniker David Asher Band (D.A.B.), the self-titled debut album reflects Asher’s journey as an artist throughout the years. Recorded by Christopher Lewis at Fire Hyena Studios, the album further features two standout tracks mixed by the legendary British producer Adrian Sherwood (of On-U Sound Studios), who recorded and mixed revolutionary music from bands such as Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode and reggae pioneers such as Lee “Scratch” Perry.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">David Asher believes the magic of his new vibration is truly a shared effort between him and his bandmates. And, Top Shelf agrees — the boys are soaring with it!</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Asher takes the helm on guitar, lead vocals and piano, while guitarist David Ivory leads on the guitar marvelously, Derrick L Davis puts his stamp on the drums and percussion, and William Petzhold holds down the bass (on top of co-writing my personal favorite single on the album “Deputy Dawg and the Marshall”). The essence of the work in its entirety is captivating, mysterious and artistically timeless.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The album consists of five original songs, which follow an organic rootsy style, masterfully interlaced with four well-known covers that weave and blend together the feel of the entire project. This creative collaboration and mix between the old and the new really embraces what roots reggae is about, while maintaining a fresh and unique style that showcases everything standout-ish about more modern rock, alternative or other musical genre mixes.</p><p style="text-align: center;">“We planned on doing a cover album and I hadn’t written much in quite some time, but then I got bit by the writing bug and we decided to mesh the originals with the covers. As Jah intended, the project happened the way it was supposed to happen and, all of a sudden, inspiration fell into my lap,” says Asher.</p><p style="text-align: center;">While D.A.B.’s cover work of notable songs — like Curtis Mayfield’s “Keep On Moving”, which kicks off the album, and a killer reggae influenced cover of Bob Dylan’s “Knocking On Heaven’s Door” –definitely require praise, I was most intrigued and impressed by the raw and upfront emotive storytelling in the original tracks, such as “47 Shots (The Ballad Of Milton Hall)” and “Deputy Dawg and the Marshall”. The former is an anthem about the shooting of Milton Hall, who was a mentally ill black man that was shot 47 times after being unable to pay for a cup of coffee. This chilling true story is poetically matched with mind-blowing brass instrumentals of trumpets, flugelhorns and saxes by Nicolas Pefla that build the story’s suspense and heartache.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The track “Donkey Jawbone”, originally recorded by The Process back in 1992 on their Baldhead Vex album, also makes a new statement with D.A.B.; Asher never thought the song was given justice, so he re-recorded the track for greater distinction. Other noteworthy originals on the album include “Keep A Little Faith” and the dancey, dare I say, smoothtown-groovetown number “There’s A Fire”. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red;">Like many insta-favorite albums, D.A.B. hit some heartstrings throughout.</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Yet, the beautiful closing cover of the R&B classic “Love Ballad” (originally by Skip Scarborough) is so full of power and grace, it deserves special remembrance. The melding of Asher’s deep full vocals with Mikki Sound’s crisp sultry vocals balances this one out effortlessly, making the song feel both classic and sexy. The cherry that tops this tantalizing banana split for your ears are two additional bonus tracks mixed by Adrian Sherwood at On-u Sound in England.
