...uplifting Friend. The lyrics to Love Is My Religion are thought provoking and beautiful, it's what it's all about after all. This is the first album of Ziggy Marley that I've bought and I was far from disappointed, I love his fathers work and thought I'd give him a try, was pleasantly surprised. This is a perfect summer album, great for just chilling to. A definite thumbs up from me. ... Read review

Advantages: Incredibly talented musician, which shows in his music
Disadvantages: The obvious and inevitable comparisons with his father

First of all, ignore the surname. Ziggy Marley is his own person and sings of his own nature. The inevitable comparisons with his father would only hamper this album, as it is his very own masterpiece.

Released in 2002 this album has made regular visits to my CD player, one or two tracks in particular. I am not going to review every track; rather I am going to 'highlight' the best tracks. Actually, there are quite a few very good tracks, so much so that SP could have easily left off the weaker tracks and ...
...~~~The Tracks~~~ There is a full track listing at the end of this review but here I am going to concentrate on some of the more memorable tracks. I am also going to be brutal and tell you what not to bother with. 3. Gimme the Light - Great beat, great vocal, absolutely stunning bass line backed up by good drum work. Great cross over between rap and dancehall, seems to owe a lot in my opinion to old style 'toasting'. The lyrics are definitely rap ... Read review

Advantages: Will cheer you up in times of need
Disadvantages: None whatsoever!!!!!

I truly enjoyed this album, and always have it on repeat. It features all the well known Marley hits like; No woman no cry, I shot the sheriff, jammin,one love, exodus, could you be loved, and 3 little birds. Although it features many hits, there are also one or too missing such as 'Small axe' and 'sun is shining,' but all in all it is truly an album you must have in your collection!!!! When ever I am feeling down this album always cheers me up! ... Read review
