Having always listened to and enjoyed Bob Marley, in the snatches of his songs I have heard, I felt compelled to buy this album as it was clearly a very good collection of classic reggae.

Marley defined reggae and if it was not for him, the reggae genre (and the ska movement derived from reggae) would still be a mere local Carribbean tradition, not a worldwide phenomenom.

And so to the album. Released in 2000 after Marley's death in 1984, Legend comprises a collection of Bob's greatest and most celebrated hits.

It is in this album, that he demonstrates his strong Rastafarian faith and love of the music. HIs most famous hits like 'Jammin', 'One Love' and 'Buffalo Soldier' to name a few are coupled with the powerful classics 'Redemption song' and 'Exodus'.

What particularly attracts me to this album, is its laid back nature. After a long, hard day, you canc ome back, throw Legend on to your Hi-Fi and feel totally at ease, as is the nature of reggae. I regularly drift off (though not in a cloud of smoke, as Marley would) listening to the legendary 'No Woman No Cry' recorded live in England.

I thoroughlly recommend this album to you. It comes in two versions, although both are labelled as 'remastered'. The version I have is the original, released in 2000. But the second (and more expensive version), is the Deluxe edition, which has a second CD with various live recordings, which if are anything to go by Marley's fantastic stage performances, is thoroughlly worth spending that extra few quid for.

In conclusion, I believe that Marley really lives up to the title - 'Legend'.
