MARLEY’S GHOST

Share via

“HEY WORLD.” Ziggy Marley & the Melody Makers. EMI-America. It’s spooky in a wonderful way: Ziggy Marley bears an increasingly strong facial and vocal resemblance to his late father Bob, and on stage he exudes a charisma and transcendent presence that also recalls his dad. This new collection by the four Marley children shows that Ziggy is rapidly developing the songwriting abilities to complete the package. His social and political commentaries bristle with informed insights, pointed observations and pithy pleas--all rather amazing from someone still in his teens. And Ziggy’s songs glide atop solid, largely traditional reggae The Marley legacy is in very good hands.
