Free Music Review: One of His Many Greats
Hit: 5 Stars
I own most of the stuff Marley ever did. My review is more a review of Bob Marley as it is for me very difficult to pick and choose one masterpiece over another or to seperate the man from the music. To analyze each song on any of his albums would be pointless as they are not songs, but gifts. Bob Marley was more than music, more than politics, more than love, he was spirit and hope.
I went to Jamaica twice in the mid seventies. I stayed in Negril which although not the stone age it didn't have electricity, and instead we had oil lamps at night. The shower was outside surrounded by the beauty of the local vegetation. Some of the local fisherman still used dugouts and hand lines. There was an innocence to the people (at least in Negril) and the feel of the island at that time was something that I had never experienced before or since. Of course all of this I am told is gone and it is a major tourist resort. My experience on the island will forever be one of the most beautiful memories in my life. Bob Marley was the national hero of Jamaica and the major force and spokesperson for his people. Somehow he truly embodied the spirt of all that was Jamaica. Catch a Fire, Burnin, Natty Dread, Kaya, and Exodus all were major works of art.
Although the earlier Catch a Fire is a masterpiece in it's own right, Burnin is probably the best representation of the edge that was part of the early Bob Marley stuff. Peter Tosh was still very much a part of the Wailers at the time and contributed heavily on this CD and therefore I think he added a balance to this one that one might say was lacking on later recordings. Burnin conveys the feeling of desparity experienced by the native people of the island and yet at the same time is uplifting. My personal favorite of Marley's stuff is Kaya. I honestly can say that no other recording has ever made me feel so contented or made me want to love life the way Kaya did. True story - In 1999 I named our new puppy Marley because he made us feel so happy and seemed to fill our lives. I thought I had really given my dog this unique name that no other dog would have. Several years later a book came out about a dog named Marley and the author said that he chose that name for the same reason I did. Bob Marley brought joy into this world. It may sound hokey, but he really did. I can think of no other person that better conveyed the need for peace and understanding in the world, not even Lennon. Bob Marley was a beautiful force in this world and his music was all about feeling good about life and the people in it. I miss him so much and I feel like I really knew what he wanted me to hear. I think that Burnin is a great place to begin to understand where Marley came from and where he wanted us to go.
In light of the present state of affairs in this world and this country, I can only think of a quote from Jackson Browne "It is so far the other way my country has come". We need people like Bob Marley to help us see the way. I see no one even close to his caliber on the horizon or presently walking on the planet.
