VA - Tribute To Bob Marley (Trojan, 1994)

It's no secret that Bob Marley means everything to Jamaican pop music. Charismatic to a fault, courageous, defiant, and compassionate as well as being a world-class songwriter and performer, Marley recast Jamaica as Marleyville in the eyes and ears of the rest of the world. T

his 21-track collection features covers of Marley tunes along with tribute sides recorded by Jamaican artists following Marley's death in 1981. The end result is a varied yet internally coherent set that not only pays tribute to Marley but also demonstrates the flexible durability of his songbook. Highlights include Max Romeo's skittering version of "Mr. Chatterbox," Delroy Wilson's delightfully joyous "Nice Time" and Augustus Pablo's suitably ominous and eerie "Three O'Clock Roadblock."
