Released on the 20th anniversary of Bob Marley's death, ONE LOVE is a more expansive cross-section of this music titan's recorded legacy. Supplanting LEGEND, (a greatest hits disc that's managed to find its way into dorm rooms around the world), this newer compilation features a wide range of Marley's biggest and best-known cuts. Revolutionary anthems ("Get Up, Stand Up," "Exodus"), love songs ("Waiting In Vain," "Is This Love") and social commentary ("So Much Trouble In The World") are among the many topics this fiercely righteous artist chose to write about.
With as tight a band as The Wailers providing instrumental support, (among whose members in the early days were childhood friends Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer), groove-driven numbers like "Jamming" and "Could You Be Loved" altered reggae music's normally laconic pace. Also included are Marley's take on the persecution he faced as a spokesman for those with no voice ("Iron Lion Zion") and a band version of a self-penned folk song that sounds like something Bob Dylan might have written had he be born a Rastafarian ("Redemption Song"). ONE LOVE is an essential acquisition to reggae die-hards and Marley neophytes alike.
