with us his music still inspires and entertains millions around the globe. Pay your respects to the reggae legend with this fantastic One Love canvas print. Dimensions:H 400mm W 400mm
lives up to its title with a generous repertoire of Bob Marley songs performed by reverent pop, hip-hop, rock and reggae veterans. Shot on a rainy night in December 1999, the home video version expands upon an inaugural TNT cable telecast with an additional hour of performances. The DVD edition adds a premium level of special features and exclusive content.The music's the main thing, of course, and on that frontOne Loveis uniformly respectful, orbiting around Marley's songs and infused with whiffs of his Rastafarian world view and reggae's broader Third World perspectives. Marley's family members serve as hosts and frequent collaborators, with a limber house band further reinforcing a coherent, communal element to the performances, and the titular all-stars immerse themselves in Marley's world. Lauryn Hill opens the concert with what is clearly one of its highest points, a joyful "Turn the Lights Down Low". Chrissie Hynde and Erykah Badu take turns duetting with Jimmy Cliff, and another reggae titan, Toots Hibbert, proves a perfect, ebullient fit with a current line-up of the Wailers. The celebrity choices include a conspicuous subset of American folk-rockers in Tracy Chapman, Ben Harper and Hootie and the Blowfish's Darius Rucker, with Chapman the most convincing in a glowing version of "Three Little Birds".Avid reggae fans may be mildly frustrated by the overall crossover thrust of this homage, which favours Yankee rap and hip-hop (via Busta Rhymes and Queen Latifah) instead of home-grown dancehall; it tantalises us with glimpses of Marley's peers, like Cliff and Hibbert, while being largely occupied with sustaining its parade of non-reggae marquee names. For most viewers, though, the scope of the concert and the first-rate sonic finish will sustain the spell, an effect powerfully expanded on the superb DVD version. --Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

...i must admit many of the tracks on this album are outdated and aren\'t the greatest but if you have listened to most of bob\'s other stuff then it really is intresting to dive into the VERY early stuff. All these tracks are ska really and aren\'t very complex or have very deep lyrics but you just have to take into account how young he was and inexperienced and how old the songs are. Dont buy this unless you are a true marley fan and are intrested in his earlier stuff, done expect to much and you will find it intresting and completely different to any of his other albums due to the youngness of his voice. Not a must to a collection but a very intresting and different sounding album. Many tracks on here you will find hard to find any where else as they are origionals so if you think you may recognise a track \'chances are...

This guy is truly his fathers son yet you have to give him the credit for being a great musician in his own right. I first saw him performing on the BobMarleyOneLove Tribute Concert and was impressed with what I saw. The only other time I'd heard anything of his was the theme tune from the children's cartoon "Arthur" which is a boppy lil number. The mix of tracks is really good, ranging from the beautiful and melancholy Keep On Dreaming to the brilliantly uplifting Friend. The lyrics to Love Is My Religion are thought provoking and beautiful, it's what it's all about after all...

Advantages: You will get paralized into a trance listening to Marley! His lyrics will flow through your mind while you chill in peace! Disadvantages: The Only disadvantage is that there could be more songs, but thats me being picky!
...All the way from sunny sunny Jamaica Re-Released BobMarley and the Wailers - Catch A Fire!
BobMarley the Son of Reggae who has brought us such songs as "OneLove", "Waiting in Vain" and "No Women No Cry", do you realy think he will release a bad album? I Don't!
Catch a Fire is extreamly down to earth, this album compared to most Marley and the Wailers album realy makes you think. Bass has been used alot more so if you got a Sub get it boomin!
"Catch a Fire" is an excellent debut album by the Wailers. As you can see by the front cover the "Herb" has be written into his songs and this amazing mix of chilling reggae tunes and the soft flowin lyrics of BobMarley realy is worth listening to. This remastered version is alot more clear and no static on the tracks which bring the quality up. If you like BobMarleys previous albums you...
