Natty Dread....

Front cover: Consists of a pop art style picture of a 23 year old Bob Marley taken in his earlier pre rastafari days when he was mainly a ska singer.

Label: Island/Tuff Gong

Tracks:

1. Lively Up Yourself
2. No Woman, No Cry
3. Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)
4. Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Road Block)
5. So Jah Seh
6. Natty Dread
7. Bend Down Low
8. Talkin' Blues
9. Revolution
10. Am-A-Do (Bonus Track)

I would now like to talk one of the songs within this album, now been a big Bob Marley fan this was one of the latter albums I bought as I was under the impression that I had most of the tracks on it.

How I was wrong, one track on this album is far better than other material I have ever heard, no its not No Woman No Cry, it is in fact Talkin Blues.

This version is completely different to the original,as it has Bob Dylan style harmonica, banjo touches within the song. It is probably my favourite Bob Marley song, I have also never seen it on any other Bob release so the cd is definately worth buying for this one track.

Some of the songs within the album are of poor quality as it is a remastered version of the LP taken straight form the 2 track cassettes they used to record on in Jamaica but that is to be expected of any Tuff Gong Marley releases.

This cd is really a bit of a mix and match as some tracks have Bunny and Pete singing with Bob and some tracks from the days of the three IIIs.

I would certainely buy this cd if you are a Bob fan, if you are a casual reggae fan try another title such as the deluxe version of Legend.

Now if you are looking to get this cd I would advise going to Amazon as the market sellers offer excellent value (i think i paid about four quid for this album which is quite cheap.)

If you have any further questions please give me a shout!
