CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description Bob Marley's music had become an international phenomenon in three short years since his first album's release outside of Jamaica. That a compilation was already in demand attests to the universal impact and energy in his music. African Herbsman was originally released in 1973, at a pivotal point in Marley's Carrer. These tracks capture the mystical magic when Marley, The Wailers, and the Upsetters came together under the spiritual hand of producer Lee "Scratch" Perry. So vital were these songs that Marley would revisit them on future recordings. "Trenchtown Rock," "Kaya," and "Lively Up Yourself" were among those gems to become standards for the next decade. The following years would find Bob Marley and the Wailers elevated to international superstar status. Rapid popularity growth and a desire for new challenges saw Marley split from his producing partnership with Lee Perry. After African Herbsman, Marley had learned to stand strong behind his own voice.

CD ReviewsEssential Marley S. Finefrock | Raleigh, NC | 01/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "By this point in time everybody and their brother, sister, uncle and cousin own Marley's great collection LEGEND. And that's for good reason, as Marley was one of the most talented musicians to emerge in the late 20th century. A singer, songwriter, bandleader and social force that obliterated boundries of race and culture, he had a similar impact on world soceity as the Beatles, Dylan or Elvis. LEGEND is an excellent document tht shows all the things that led Bob Marley to that stature.
What few people know is that this album is an even better example than LEGEND of the genius that was Bob Marley and the Wailers. These are the tracks that he recorded in the early 70's that seperated him from the pack of other Jamaican groups and allowed him to approach global stardom. Produced by the great Lee Perry, AFRICAN HERBSMAN is a solid collection of Roots classics recorded before Marley began to target the worldwide rock audience. Tracks such as TRENCHTOWN ROCK, LIVELY UP YOURSELF, SMALL AXE and KEEP ON MOVING are as vital as anything else in Reggae or Marley's vast catalog. This is not to disrespect the fine music that Marley and the Wailers recorded for Island, but to point out to all that there are treasures to seek out beyond that fine album. Also of note, there are several versions of this album on the market. The one I own is not a dual disk release, but does include several interesting and essential versions that were dubbed over by Lee Perry's Upsetters and voiced over by proto rapper Big Youth." |
