Rise Up

Advantages: Reggae
Disadvantages: Bit politcal?

...pollution and oppression on previous Uprising tracks - gives us his thoughts on prostitution. And guess what? He doesn't approve. 8. Could You Be Loved Hurray! One we all know! This track is very different to the version that ends up on Legend. Whilst it has the insistent bass and same lyrics, there's something different about the vocals and the added instrumentation here. Nonetheless, it's the song we all know (and love?) and as such brightens ...
...After my last review that rallied against religion in a big way, I half expected to find a track so lovely to be about religion and therefore biting me firmly on the arse. Religious and political sentiments aside, this is a great tune, sandwiched as it is between two of Marley's finest compositions. And it holds up well in fine company. 10. Redemption Song The other track from this album to feature on Legend album. It's the acoustic one that haprs ...

The Legend of Reggae

Advantages: catchy rhythm, lively music, easy listening and includes marleys best songs
Disadvantages: reggae is not everyones taste in music and can be found boring to some people

If you have never heard of Bob Marley. He was the most famous reggae singer in the world. The wailers was the name of Bob Marley's backing singers/vocalists. And reggae is a type of music that originated from Jamaica. Also it once got very popular in the united states. This album was made after Bob Marley died. This album includes many of bobs number 1 hits from other albums he produced. Nearly all of bobs songs have a meaning to them. They have ...
...most albums they include a few songs you dislike and a few songs you really enjoy, I think that this album starts off with the better songs and towards the end they do start to drag a little. But all the way through they have a really great beat to them and a liveliness that are in nearly all of bobs songs except the slower love songs which are just as good. Here is the list of songs in the albums 1. Is this love 2. no woman no cry 3. could you ...

Natty Dread quality Bob Material

Advantages: unique version of Talking Blues
Disadvantages: some poor sound quality, some early dull tracks

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 ...
...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 ...

Him Name Buju Banton... Nahh Mr. Mention

Advantages: Lots of bangers
Disadvantages: Ends on a track that's weaker than the rest

“Mr. Mention” was released in 1992 as the second album from the Jamaican Dancehall musician Buju Banton. It dropped soon after his debut (within a year) and so had him showing just how productive he could be at the time as he brought lots of his Dancehall material (that became much more Reggae-styled as his career developed and he embraced Rastafarians ways. 1. “Batty Rider” The album opens up with one of the biggest singles that he had released ...
...that here you get him blasting through a fly tune that has him bringing through the sort of controversial lyrics that gave him notoriety when he broke into the game at the age of 15 with “Boom Bye Bye”. It is a hardcore tune, but one that I can’t say is really for all due to the themes. **Five Stars** 2. “Love How The Gal-Dem Flex” This is a big tune on the release and one that is seen to build upon the sorts of things that were heard on the first ...
