Home For Dinner captures David Hillyard & the Rocksteady 7 at their most confident and expansive, weaving ska and reggae foundations together with jazz, Afro-Cuban, and Brazilian influences. The album boasts an exceptional lineup, including percussion master Larry McDonald and vocal contributions from Chris Murray, Felipe Machado, and BNegão. Balancing deep-pocket originals with fresh takes on “Ca Purange,” “Mack the Knife,” and “Jackpot,” the record is both timeless and forward-leaning, mixed and co-produced by Roger Rivas of The Aggrolites.

Vinyl format includes a double LP pressed on transparent red color vinyl and double sided insert.
