VA - Tribute To Bob Marley, Part 2 (Trojan)

Last week was the 40th anniversary of the death of music legend Bob Marley. The Jamaican reggae star died young in 1981, at just 36 from cancer, leaving behind a legacy that reaches across all musical genres, ages and around the world. His life was certainly cut too short but his music lives on for generations and generations.

This compilation is a follow-up to the original tribute records on Trojan. It includes Marley covers and tracks inspired by him from a range of artists (many personal friends) including Jacki Mittoo, Ken Boothe, Augustus Pablo, the Heptones, Lee Perry, Andrew Tosh and U Roy.

It should be pointed out that, whilst Bob Marley was singled out for acclaim by the music media, it was the Wailers as a unit who defined the sound of Jamaica´s best know group. To ignore the contributions of Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh would be to tell only part of the story. For they, along with Rita Marley, Judy Mowatt and Marcia Griffiths, as well as the various musicians who played with the Wailers, formed an inseparable part of the Bob Marley legend.
