Title: Fascinating work from rock's premier journalist
Review: One of the better music biographies I have ever read. I knew a bit about Marley and his music before picking this up (and the 1998 edition is the most up-to-date), but this really clued me in. And I, unlike some readers, appreciated the solid background on Jamaica, reggae, and Rastafarianism, all of which are essential to understanding Bob Marley. I would have liked more anecdotes, stories, and information about his recording and touring (patriculary during the late '70s heydey), but White mysteriously does not delve much into this. And it did what a good music bio should - further investigate and listen to the music of the subject. Jah, mon!
