BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS - LEGEND: THE BEST OF BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS - VINYL LP

VINYL LP.

There Are Few Musicians Whose Music Has Indisputably Advanced Humanity. Reggae Figurehead Bob Marley--A Songwriter, Poet, Activist, And Visionary--Is One Of Them. The Idea That A Single-Disc Collection Could Represent The Depth, Breadth, And Power Of Marley's Achievement Is Far-Fetched, But LEGEND Makes An Excellent Attempt. Every Single One Of Its Tracks Is Outstanding, And The Artist's Different Faces--Revolutionary ("Get Up Stand Up"), Romantic ("Is This Love"), Devout Rastafarian ("Buffalo Soldier"), And Prophet ("One Love/People Get Ready") Are Equally Represented, In Addition To His Moving Message Of Love And Unity, Marley Is A Master Songwriter, As The Timelessness Of Songs Like "Stir It Up," "I Shot The Sheriff," And The Gorgeous, Poignant "Redemption Song" Proves. Of Course, A True Sampling Of Marley's Output Would Require Some Early Ska Material, The Wailer's Debut (CATCH A FIRE), The Definitive NATTY DREAD, And His Later-Period Opus EXODUS, But LEGEND Provides A Highly Satisfying, If Brief, Overview Of Marley's Genius. A Record Well Suited To Any Location, Season, Or Time Of Day, It Has Proven Universal In Its Appeal.
