the ska-skank redemption

cover

the title of this cd is actually from the liner notes of an echoing green cd where joey is thanking all of these bands that he made up. if i was going to make a cd using this name, it was only obvious to start with the cover from the movie and modify it for my purposes. the back is a black-and-white scene from the movie with the tracklist over it.

for the music i collected a lot of my favorite ska, but was mostly concerned with whether or not the track was skankable. the result is mostly ska, along with skankable swing, celtic, and even some rockabilly.
