Rebel Dub is Chuck Foster's fourth dub release and features Soul Syndicate/Aggrovators/Observer All Stars guitarist Tony Chin, Studio One and Channel One alumni Tony Bird on organ, Mike Irwin from Rough Sounds on bass, piano and ,melodica, UK's Horseman on drums, Rex Bailey on lead guitar, Hawaiian steel and ukulele and Chuck himself on guitar, harmonica and (sparse) vocals with percussionist Lai Hee adding spice.
