The Album "Exodus" by Bob Marley

This is the album "Exodus" by Bob Marley ...

.

.

.

.

Year: 1977

.

Recorded shortly after the attempt on reggae superstar Bob Marley's life, Exodus veers from dire predictions to the height of his expression of and hope for unity. The first half of the record focuses on Marley's clear insights into the heart of Babylon. Songs such as "The Heathen," "Guiltiness," and the cautionary "So Much Things to Say" observe the problems of the world. The second half lays out the solution, focusing on love and unity with such essential songs as "One Love/People Get Ready," "Waiting in Vain," and the lyrical love song "Turn Your Lights Down Low." As always, Marley sings with such passion, it's as if his voice were connected to a universal soul. Lending additional weight, the Wailers all give nuanced and stirring performances: a popping drum riff here, a poetic guitar solo there. Layer upon layer, their incredible interplay shines through, the delicate elements of these arrangements build to a powerful display of roots reggae. Marley reacted to being shot as few men would, writing, "One love/One heart/Let's get together and feel all right."

The Album "Rastaman Vibration" By Bob Marley




The Album "Rastaman Vibration" By Bob Marley ...

.

.

.

Year:1976

.

.

1976’s Rastaman Vibration is often cited as the album that finally broke Bob Marley into the American pop market. While this may be true from a sales standpoint, musically Rastaman Vibration is in fact something of a welcome stylistic digression for Marley, who paused to record this album of rough-hewn reggae in the midst of his metamorphosis from Rasta proselytizer to pop star. Since signing with Island Records in 1973 Marley had been inching away from the deep, dreader-than-dread sound of his early Lee Perry helmed recordings, crafting a brighter pop sound with more universal appeal. Rastaman Vibration, however, found Marley collaborating with veteran Jamaican producer Joe Gibbs, whose trademark heavyweight sound lends the album a welcome dose of bass-laden foreboding. On the thundering “War” Marley quotes Haile Sellassie over a stuttering, strangulated rhythm that drips with the threat of imminent violence, while the creeping drum machines of “Johnny Was” lend a sense of tragic inevitability to Marley’s tale of an inner city shooting. Rastaman Vibration is one of Marley’s most accomplished albums, a welcome return to the rough and ready sound upon which he had built his reputation.

The Album "Natty Dread" By Bob Marley



Here is the album "Natty Dread" (Expanded) by Bob Marley ...

.

.

.

Year: 1974

.

.

.

Natty Dread is Bob Marley's finest album, the ultimate reggae recording of all time. This was Marley's first album without former bandmates Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston, and the first released as Bob Marley & the Wailers. The Wailers' rhythm section of bassist Aston "Family Man" Barrett and drummer Carlton "Carlie" Barrett remained in place and even contributed to the songwriting, while Marley added a female vocal trio, the I-Threes (which included his wife Rita Marley), and additional instrumentation to flesh out the sound. The material presented here defines what reggae was originally all about, with political and social commentary mixed with religious paeans to Jah. The celebratory "Lively Up Yourself" falls in the same vein as "Get Up, Stand Up" from Burnin'. "No Woman, No Cry" is one of the band's best-known ballads. "Them Belly Full (But We Hungry)" is a powerful warning that "a hungry mob is an angry mob." "Rebel Music (3 O'Clock Road Block)" and "Revolution" continue in that spirit, as Marley assumes the mantle of prophet abandoned by '60s forebears like Bob Dylan. In addition to the lyrical strengths, the music itself is full of emotion and playfulness, with the players locked into a solid groove on each number. Considering that popular rock music was entering the somnambulant disco era as Natty Dread was released, the lyrical and musical potency is especially striking. Marley was taking on discrimination, greed, poverty, and hopelessness while simultaneously rallying the troops as no other musical performer was attempting to do in the mid-'70s. [The 2001 Definitive Remasters edition also includes the track "Am-A-Do," which was recorded during the Natty Dread sessions but shelved until the 1991 compilation, Talkin' Blues. It is restored here to its proper chronological context.]

The Album "Catch A Fire" By Bob Marley & The Wailers(second album)



Here is The Album "Catch A Fire" By Bob Marley And The Wailers (second album)
.
.
.
Year: 1973
.
.
.
Bob Marley was already a hardened veteran of the Jamaican music scene by the time that Catch a Fire saw international release in the spring of 1973. He had recorded low-slung New Orleans style R&B with Leslie Kong, soaring Rocksteady with Coxsone Dodd and adventurous, uncompromising Roots music with the inimitable Lee Perry. Had his career ended in 1972 Marley would still be one of the pre-eminent figures in Jamaican music, but the release of Catch a Fire, one of the first internationally distributed Roots records, set Marley on the path to global superstardom and changed the general public’s conception of reggae forever. While singers like John Holt Desmond Dekker and The Heptones’ Leroy Sibbles had achieved commercial success in the UK and, to a lesser extent, in America with their lovelorn Rocksteady balladry and rowdily picturesque gunman anthems, Marley’s Catch a Fire was unique for its strident political stance and unadorned Roots textures. From the plaintive ghetto reportage of “Concrete Jungle” to the sufferers’ manifesto “400 Years,Marley, along with fellow Wailers Bunny Marley and Peter Tosh, gives us a street level view of Kingston life with his stunning melodic sensibility and deft lyricism. While Marley would go on to even greater success with his next few releases, Catch a Fire provided a blueprint for his future triumphs, and remains one of the most revelatory Jamaican albums ever recorded.

The Album "Soul Rebels" By Bob Marley & The Wailers (first album)



Here is the album "Soul Rebels" by Bob Marley
.
.
.
.
Year: 1970
.
.
.

.
Originally issued in 1970, Soul Rebels was the first album credited to Bob Marley & the Wailers, and it was also the band's first full-length collaboration with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, for whom they had already recorded a string of fairly successful singles. Working with the newly configured Upsetters band, Marley and crew delivered a strange and wonderful set of early reggae that at times plays fast and loose with the already established conventions of the genre — on "My Cup" the beat sounds inside out, while "It's Alright" sounds like a slightly Jamaicanized version of Motown soul. Other songs, such as the beautifully harmonized "Try Me," show their deep roots in rocksteady. One of the most arresting tracks on the album is the Bunny Wailer composition "Four Hundred Years," on which Wailer unburdens himself of some of his typically dread pronouncements in his rich, chesty voice. The 2004 Jad/Hip-O edition of the album includes the bonus track "Jah Is Mighty" and an alternate version of the title track.
