Entries in Bob Marley (3)

Throwback Thursdays: Bob Marley

Over the years, Bob Marley recorded several versions of his hit "Mellow Mood" but the original take from 1966 has a little more spring in it's step. Dig this - it'll put a smile on your face.

Feel Good Fridays: Bob Marley

It's been a gloomy week - let's let Bob give us reassurance. His songs often get dismissed, overplayed and underappreciated. Let's take a moment to hear him sing (and watch this goofy post-humous video). Cheers.

Throwback Thursdays: The Wailers

Way back in 1963 a fresh Jamacian group (with some help from the legendary Skatalites) recorded their first big hit, "Simmer Down". The group was The Wailers - which featured a young singer by the name of Bob Marley. This is long before the dreads, the political unrest, the world-wide fame and soccer injuries. I could listen to this song every day. If you really need a ska fix, dig this double feature documentary (big ups to egotripland).
