Overview
Skaboy JFK is a compilation of the ska and ska-influenced songs featured on the Daddies' previous studio albums, spanning from 1994's Rapid City Muscle Car to 2008's Susquehanna, excluding only the band's 1990 debut Ferociously Stoned. The songs on the compilation cover a broad range of styles of ska music, including traditional Jamaican-influenced ska, reggae, third wave ska and ska punk.
As the Daddies' former label Jive Records own the master recordings of the band's late 1990s work, three songs - "Soul Cadillac" and "End of the Night" from 2000's Soul Caddy and "2:29" from 1997's Vacationing in Palm Springs - were fully re-recorded for inclusion on this compilation. Notably, "2:29" was re-recorded and re-arranged from a fast ska punk style to a mellower reggae tempo.
