A man who spoke to me
Before that, I was relatively unfamiliar. My fiance introduced me to reggae music a couple of years ago. In his song "Fools Die", Peter Tosh has spoken to me on a base level of humanity. He was a spiritual feeler of our souls. Not only did he have an incredible voice, but what he spoke really touches my most sacred place. I rank him as one of the most incredible writers and singers of our time. I am sorry for his loss in our world.


Its good

It is reggae, so its manitory to put the phones on, roll one, and melt away! . I'm not a fan of every song but it has a few essentials like "Legalize it", "Stepping Razor" and "Igziabeher (Let Jah Be Praised".


Scrolls of the Prophet: The Best of Peter Tosh
Anyone who loves reggae will love this album. THE MAN IS A PROPHET.


Most of the Best


SCROLLS OF THE PROPHET: THE BEST OF PETER TOSH consists of 15 songs, most from the late 1970s; songs are not in chronological order. Released by Sony's Columbia/Legacy imprint, this collection primarily focuses on songs recorded 1976-1978, taken from the albums "Legalize It" (1976), "Equal Rights" (1977), and "Bush Doctor" (1978). Disc packaged in clear jewel case; total running time: 72:46. Booklet includes an essay by KROQ's Native Wayne Jobson, several small b&w photos, and track information (recording dates for all but track 11, albums of origin, and songwriter credits). Sound quality is good.

Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 are from "Equal Rights"
Tracks 7, 9, 12, and 13 are from "Legalize It"
Tracks 5 and 8 are from "Bush Doctor" (track 5, "(You Gotta Walk And) Don't Look Back", is a duet with Mick Jagger)
Track 15 is from "Honorary Citizen" and track 10 is from 1981's "Wanted Dread or Alive".
Track 14 is a 1964 version of "One Love" by Bob Marley & the Wailers featuring Peter Tosh (an up-tempo version different from the "One Love/People Get Ready" Bob Marley recorded in the `70s)
Track 11, "Mystery Babylon" is "an updated version of Babylon Queendom".

This is far from a comprehensive compilation (two of my favorite songs, "Where You Gonna Run" and "That's What They Do", are not included), but it is enjoyable, and a decent tribute to the late great Peter Tosh.

I prefer Peter Tosh
Bob's music is great, but lost some of it's grass roots meanings the more popular it got. While I've been listening to all kinds of music my whole life, I find Peter Tosh to be more of a REAL representation of the struggle of the Rasta man than his fellow bandmate Bob Marley. Peter Tosh seems to be more consistant in his beliefs and songs than any other singer I've heard.

I give this album (and all the other Peter Tosh albums I own) 5 stars simply out of respect for his life and his never ending struggle to keep it real.
