So many words have been written about Robert Nesta Marley
and his legacy to world culture that it sometimes seems
all the angles have been covered: The musical pioneer.
The mystic Rastafarian. The seeker of justice. The reggae
icon. Et cetera, ad infinitum. But listening once more,
what stands out most is the way Marley and his colleagues
acted as cultural interpreters, taking American ideas,
recasting them in a Jamaican style, and sending them
out again in a form that would eventually win over the
planet. On these early tracks, Marley’s one-world
appeal is encapsulated perfectly and forever.
