got to have Kaya now...
This is such a great recording. Kaya, She gone. . and so many other great songs. If you're a fan and don't own this, then buy it as soon as you can. . . . "One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain. ".


Kaya
Typical Marley beats makes this a great addition to any collection. I bought this albulm for the song "Time will Tell" and I was surprised to hear so much good music.


Kaya
This is the album that satisfies that theory that Marley was a laid back pot head instead of a activist, street fighting man called tuff gong. Bob Marley & The Wailers-Kaya ****

Kaya is the stereotypical Marley album. Which blows my mind because next to Natty Dread this is his least popular album and only contains one true hit. Two if you count 'Satisfy My Soul. '

Many have a love or hate relationship with the album. The first half is genius and full of some of his and the Wailers best music. No one will deny this, not on my watch anyway. The second half is decent but could have been a lot stronger.

The entire album is made up of random tracks through Marley's career that for one reason or another didn't end up on other albums. The relaxed title track/stoner anthem dates all the way back to 1972. But most of the second side is left overs from the brilliant Exodus album.

'Could You Be Loved' 'Easy Skanking' 'Sun Is Shining' and 'Satisfy My Soul' make this the perfect album for the morning after. 'Crisis' and 'Running Away' while both could have been way better serve as conscious anthems making this a true Marley album. 'Shes Gone' is both sad and uplifting. 'Time Will Tell' could have been a nice change but comes up short, though it does end the album well enough.

Kaya is a great album despite being Marley & The Wailers' weakest effort. But for an album of left overs this kills. In my book Marley & The Wailers are one of the truly great bands. I feel they never really made anything bad, and Kaya is no exception.


Amazing Feel Good Album
") This album grows with more listening, and probably makes me happier than listening to any other album ever. First time I heard this record, i loved the first three songs, the rest were alright, and I hated the final two (excluding the bonus track "Smile Jamaica. It also is probably in my top three favorite Bob Marley albums, Survival is the best. One of the reasons it is not my favorite is the lack of political lyrics which I think characterizes Marley's most important music. Most of these songs are about love and relaxation. The very next album, "Survival" hit it hard with the strong lyrics and amazing music. The music on "Kaya," is almost as good, and the happier songs make me feel good. It is also not devoid of political issues, the song, "Crisis," is more somber, and contains some powerful political statements. Buy this album if you are a reggae fan, it is essential, and will always put you in a good mood.
