There are certain songs I've heard so many times that I feel like I never need to hear again in my life. This might change when the burn has healed but Amy Winehouse's 'Rehab' is certainly one of them. Or at least her version.
Now there's a new version of the single being released in a few weeks by The Jolly Boys, a mento band from Jamaica who've been making music for over 60 years. Back in the 1940s they used to be quite the name on the Hollywood party circuit playing in particular for Errol Flynn after he bougth Port Antonio's Navy Island and turned it into a party zone. His wife, Patrice, is the lady in the red hat in the video.
Just how much fun were they having making this video. there's no way you can't break into a grin watching the hugely charmismatic 72 year old lead singer Albert. He's even the youngest member of the band. Brilliant.

'Rehab' is out 20th September on Wall of Sound and they're playing a couple of live dates in the UK next week.
