Bob Marley
Comment:
With the deliberate, feline tread of a lion stalking its prey, Marley's "One Drop" isn't so much a full-frontal assault on the system's injustice as it is a Trojan horse, its sleepy rhythm masking long-buried rage. Curtis Mayfield's "People Get Ready" takes the slow boat to the islands in Marley's "Time Will Tell," a wake-up call to the faithful, warning "ya think you're in heaven, but ya living in hell," and the hour of decision is near. And dub master producer Lee "Scratch" Perry lays the bass on thicker than saw grass in "Soul Rebel," as Marley's vocal cuts through the swampy arrangement like a machete. As you explore at this level, you'll discover songs that, although more obscure, are no less impassioned and superbly crafted than Marley's hits.
