Title: Oldies, Smooth & Easy listening
Review: This is a very nice collection of older Marley and the Wailers songs that provide very laid back easy listening. The usual superior and maybe unedited vocals, with predominantly male background, unlike most later Marley recordings. The album sounds as if there was minimal work to enhance it, but it's still great. It's like you've got the original Wailers doing a personal, low key live performance for you in a small club. To me it yields more of a 'Jamaican' flavor with a slower subdued beat. Tosh leads on "400 Years". There's not a bad song here and of the few that I already own, the ones on Crucial Reggae are different - older versions. A nice change of pace, like the Oldie's your radio DJ should be playing instead of the usual overplayed, less creative stuff you're probably suffering through.
Is the review positive or negative?
