Deep down in Jamaica, close to Mandeville
Back up in the woods, on top of a hill
There stood an old hut made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
He never learned to read and a-write so well
But he could play his guitar like ringing a bell, yell
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Sitting in a tree in the railroad track
Old engineer in the train sitting in the shade
Strummin' with the rhythm that them drivers made
People passing by would stop and say
Oh my, oh my, what the boy can play
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight
Mama said: Son, you gotta be a man
You gotta be the leader of a reggae band
People coming in from miles around
To hear you play until the sun goes down
Boy, someday, your name will be in the lights
Saying: Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight
Go, Johnny, Johnny B. Goode tonight

Eventually, will put together a montage of every musician/group that has played Johnny B. Goode (hopefully to also find versions that were not the "P.C." versions)

So much better work from The Mystic Man. Give us More Tosh!
definitely in the top 5 covers ever, love this version
Oh my, how the boy can play!
Refreshing version of the old standard.

Indeed it is the best cover. A song with two outstanding lives

Memo to Bill, if you ever see this which you won't, IMHO transitions are much better when they have to do with the music than when they have to do with the lyrics. Maybelline to a reggae version of JB Goode, just isn't interesting. But that's actually the general success of RP. Though there are a few great lyrics in 20th century music, on the whole lyrics from our period run the gamut from powerful to wince-worthy (and the bulk of them on the latter). And, yet, forget the lyrics. That same incredible, new and powerful, often mind-bogglingly overwhelming music is our legacy to the rest of the world forever. That is something that makes me happy when I think about how much the world, and the USA, has slid down the shithole lately. And I just love how you put together the greats from the first half of the 20th with the explosion of genius in the second half. Keep rockin (and jazzin and classicalin, etc.). And I will keep listenin and supportin.

I'm with you on this one, pope183, the original is a CLASSIC if there ever was one, and a lot of Tosh's work is GREAT, though this one leaves me wanting to hear the cover from Back to the Future or the original cut. And this still has an avg 7.1 despite many similar comments below. I'll stick with my 5 and STILL….Long Live RP!!
Peter Tosh's early work is full of vitality energy activism and originality - but this cover draws a jump the shark line in the sand of Tosh history for me. great artists have done covers before but somehow this is a pass for me. his Legalize It LP is chock full of well thought out lyrics sung in wonderful rhythmic patterns on top of beautiful melodies. thumbs down on this one for me.

First off, RIP Chuck.
Secondly, wow, what a thread of comments on this track! Some thoughtful, some mean; overall good discussion.
Lastly, I like the original better (9 or 10) and enjoy the slight change in the lyrics on this adequate cover, it gets a 6 from me.

Great version!! Pretty much anything pop-rock converted to reggae/ska is a sure winner in my book. Sometimes even better than the original...and at the very least a fun homage. Don't RIP Chuck...forever keep rockin' 
I like this version but in light of Mr. Berry's passing, how about the original?

What a strange criticism. It's a cover, so it's by definition "predictable". At the time of writing it's been played 3 times in 30 days, which would be harsh to describe as "overplayed" (though maybe just one play is "overplayed" if you don't like a song). The lyrics may or many not be "juvenile", but they are the original Chuck Berry lyrics. Do you have it in for this cover, or the original song, or both?
I love it as Peter Tosh has breathed new life into a standard song. A good cover should add something on top of the original, and in that sense this IMO is a good cover. It's nice to hear that the famous East Lincolnshire seaside resort is being praised once again in reggae - Skeggie, Skeggie :o)
I believe it would be better said that reggae is the definition of predictable.

Tosh's covers and reggae covers in general sometimes have something to be desired. This is one of the very good exceptions.
Very good version. I like it better than the original. Only these bongos on the background bother me. Unnecessary.

I agree, however it is overplayed in that pete has a lot more fine stuff out that needs to get some love, not just this cover.

I gotta say, this is my favorite version of this tune. Hendrix did a cover, the Dead. Even The Man Himself, while the Signature version, doesn't get me feeling the groove in the way that Tosh figured it. Even the guitar solo, sweet and not overplayed.

Rock n' Reggae.

Best cover in a long while...
Who played the lead guitar on this track? Wiki lists two lead guitarists for the original album this cut was on: Mama Africa - Darryl Thompson and Donald Kinsey.

Dee-ooh-to... Dee-ooh-to!
Tosh is awesome....
Johnny be good tonight? What a travesty. Horrible butchering of a classic.
Great themed threesome:
Ziggy Stardust > Stage Fright > Johnny B. Goode.
Even if it might be "lyrically juvenile" or "overplayed" I've always liked Tosh's version.

Outstanding! What's not to like? Great groove, very tasty guitar, and Peter Tosh slaying the vocals. Cool.
What happens when a young Jamaican listens to American Rock and Roll... Most excellent.
I love the backing vocals on this.
Where's the love man? Peter Tosh only rates a 6.7? Harsh.
Man, the music RP is playing today is so cool.

Way too much reggae today, please make it stop 
I love Peter Tosh - who else would have the nerve to do a Chuck Berry cover? And reggae, to boot? He could have tried to stay true to the original, but that would have been risky. I love that he went polar-opposite and did this lovely reggae version. No doubt that he paid homage to Chuck Berry, but he made the song his own... Yum.
Very cool.
Great cover, and nice to hear the references to that 'jewel' of the Lincolnshire East Coast and worker's playground, Skegness. At least, I thought I heard the backing chorus singing "Skeggie! Skeggie!".
I'll get me bucket and spade...

Yeeeeeeees!
Perfectly fitting after Dreadlock holiday. Next track should be Jimmy Cliff singing The harder they come.

Best part of this version, besides the nasty deep Wailer-groove, is Donald Kinsey's fantastic guitar work.
Wow, this is most excellent. 
Yeap baby ,Johny be good!!!!! 10 points
Cool version. Maybe I'm a little euphoric at this time of night, but I really like the tempo and the timing they're playing.
Tasty!

Ranks up there with the E.L.O version of "Roll Over Beethoven" as one of the most unique and inspired Chuck Berry covers.
