Lullaby Renditions Of Bob Marley [3/13] Various Artists - Keep It Burning: The Hawaiian Tribute To Bob Marley [7/17] Description:Bob Marley & The Wailers: Peter Tosh (vocals, guitar, piano, organ); Bob Marley (vocals, guitar, percussion); Bunny Livingston (vocals, congas, bongos); Earl "Chinna" Smith (guitar, percussion); Junior Marvin (guitar, background vocals); Donald Kinsey, Al Anderson (guitar); Bernard "Touter" Harvey (piano, organ); Tyrone Downie (keyboards, bass guitar, percussion, background vocals); Earl Lindo (keyboards, percussion, background vocals); Aston Barrett (bass guitar, percussion); Carlton Barrett (drums, percussion); Joe Higgs (percussion, background vocals); Alvin "Seeco" Patterson (percussion); Judy Mowatt, Marcia Griffiths, Rita Marley (background vocals). Despite the tidal wave of Bob Marley compilations flooding the stores year after year, it always seems unlikely that anything will supplant the revered LEGEND, an excellent, if not comprehensive, Marley sampler. However, Universal`s GOLD series has put together this stunning, two-disc collection that gives LEGEND a serious run for its money. GOLD has 34 songs to LEGEND`s 16, represents all phases of Marley`s career, and is lovingly sequenced and packaged (with wonderful photos and an overview of the artist`s studio output). In addition to all of the most essential and recognized tracks--"Stir It Up," "I Shot the Sheriff," "One Love/People Get Ready," and "No Woman No Cry," among them--GOLD doesn`t skimp on lesser-known Marley classics. The rock-inspired "Concrete Jungle," the dreamy "Natural Mystic," and the political lament "So Much Trouble in the World" are among the gems sprinkled here. Selections from Marley`s superb live albums and his often-overlooked mid-period output (RASTAMAN VIBRATION and KAYA) are here, fleshing out the retrospective. Much has been said about Marley`s status as a poet, musical genius, and prophet. GOLD may be the most definitive proof of those claims available.Track Listing: •DISC 1: 1.Stir It Up 2.Slave Driver 3.Concrete Jungle 4.Get up, Stand Up 5.I Shot the Sheriff 6.Burnin` and Lootin` 7.Lively up Yourself 8.Rebel Music (3 O`Clock Roadblock) 9.Trenchtown Rock 10.No Woman No Cry 11.Jah Live 12.Positive Vibration 13.Roots, Rock, Reggae 14.Crazy Baldhead 15.Natural Mystic 16.Exodus 17.Jamming •DISC 2: 1.One Love / People Get Ready 2.Waiting in Vain 3.Punky Reggae Party 4.Is This Love 5.Sun Is Shining 6.Satisfy My Soul 7.Kinky Reggae 8.War / No More Trouble 9.So Much Trouble in the World 10.Africa Unite 11.One Drop 12.Could You Be Loved 13.Coming in From the Cold 14.Redemption Song - (acoustic version) 15.Buffalo Soldier 16.Rastaman Live up! 17.Iron Lion Zion Album Information
