One of Bob's best CD's It opens with "Positive Vibration", one of my favorite of Bob's songs. Buy this CD. So uplifting. Then leads into "Roots, Rock, Reggae", which is another classic. A couple of tracks later you have "Crazy Baldhead", awesome song, followed by "Who the Cap Fits", which is another remarkable song with a good point. Then there is "night shift", a bouncing happy song about working on a fork lift. Followed by the more serious "War" and "Rat Race" written by Rita Marley. If you only buy 1 or 2 Marley CD's, This is a good one to have.
Classic stuff
all good songs if not classics, with great lyrics. Positive vibrations. the only song I don't appreciate as much is Night Shift. This cd contains the only version of Roots, Rock, Reggae that I know. The first song topping the American charts. If your looking for your first Bob Marley cd get Live! or Babylon By Bus.
Choice Sounds from Bob Marley
This CD is an excellent introduction for a Bob Marley newbie, and essential for a more serious fan. My first introduction to Bob Marley was from this CD. Many excellent songs. "Positive Vibration" and "Roots, Rock, Reggae" got some airplay - great selections. "Johnny Was", "Want More", "Night Shift", and "Rat Race" also stand out. I recommend this CD!.
Marley's Best: Soulful, Socially Conscious
Simply one of the finest Reggae albums ever, I love the scope of material, from the beautiful "Johnny Was" to the poignant "War" (which, by the way, is taken verbatim from a speech by Haile Selassie. This album lacks the explicit political statement of, say, Uprising or Survival, but to me it is Marley's most balanced, soulful album, and it captures the artist at his very best. ) Does anybody read liner notes any more?.
