Wonders of the World by Long Beach Dub All-Stars
Wonders of the World is an album by Long Beach Dub All-Stars, released in 2001. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 9 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sunny Hours”, on 9 lists with a best position of #49.
Wonders of the World, the Long Beach Dub All-Stars' second album, came out on DreamWorks on September 11, 2001, as the follow-up to Right Back. Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson were both in the lineup, and the band cut and mixed it at Total Access Studios in Redondo Beach with a crowded production desk: Paul Leary, David Gamson, Oliver Leiber, the Burn Unit and Marshall Goodman.
It's sun-baked reggae rock with a wide-open door, pulling in Chali 2na, Will.i.am, Tippa Irie, Half Pint, I-Man, Ives Irie and Paulie Selekta, and it wears its Southern California beach-town ease lightly. "Sunny Hours" was the one that broke through, climbing to 28 on the alternative airplay chart and turning up in the films Local Boys and Life or Something Like It and on the TV series Joey. The album entered the Billboard 200 at 59.
