Sly, Wicked & Slick Music Review Purchase Sly, Wicked & Slick CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Bob Marley Kaya CD (1978) Bonus Track; Remastered
Sly, Wicked & Slick album
 $10.45   
Digitally remastered by Ted Jensen (2001, Sterling Sound, New York, New York)
Marley is in a mellow and happy mood as the album opens with "excuse me while I light my spliff" on "Easy Skanking" and maintains the feeling throughout. "Kaya" has one of the best bass riffs of any Marley song (played by the wonderful Aston "Family Man" Barrett). The hit single "Is This Love" is included and he sounds upbeat singing "She's Gone," although the subject is that his lover has just left him. Nothing fazed him; he was able to address political and emotional subjects with the same degree of feeling and his manner was truly saintly. KAYA is one of his finest moments.
Kaya continues what has become an unspoken tradition in the evolution of Bob Marley & the Wailers' discography -- blending Western sounds and motifs with the icons and traditions from the very core of Jamaican society. In fact, the very word "kaya" is synonymous with marijuana in Rastafarian culture. Likewise, the album Kaya could be easily construed as an open love letter or musical paean to the lifestyle that Marley so eagerly embraced and promoted. Themes of commonality and unity pervade this release more ...
| | Bob Marley Rastaman Vibration CD (1976) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Sly, Wicked & Slick CD music
$10.49
RASTAMAN VIBRATION's burlap-esque jacket design couldn't be more appropriate packaging-this is a load of Natty knowledge delivered in simple, raw fashion. And there's a real beauty in the weave. This 1976 release finds Bob dropping ever more lyrics on human entanglements both local and global, his transcendent voice threading wisdom through it all.
"Positive Vibration" and "Roots, Rock, Reggae" are anthemic in character, inviting all listeners to quit their negativity and start a-dancin'. "Want More" is a promise of bad karma for back-biters everywhere, leadened fearfully by solemn bass lines and seamless production. Perhaps most compelling here is "War," a musical setting of a 1968 speech on global justice by the Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia. Bob's echoing fade with the words, "Good Over Evil" is positively haunting. While Peter Tosh's voice is absent, the classic exchange between Marley and the I-Threes (backing vocal divas, for those not in the know) shines all ...

Sly, Wicked & Slick album
$7.69 
Digitally remastered by Jeff Willens (Universal Music Group Studios).
A fairly rare item in the Third World discography--it was originally released only in Jamaica in 1978, not showing up in the US and UK until some time after--JOURNEY TO ADDIS is one of Third World's best albums. It's also one of their more rootsy and serious affairs, with a more pronounced Rasta vibe than many of their poppier LPs.
There are still the usual Third World R&B influences, as on the opening "One Cold Boogie," "Cold Sweat"--not the James Brown tune--and the almost discoish "Now ...
| | Peter Tosh Mystic Man CD (1979) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Sly, Wicked & Slick CD music
$8.85
Having flirted with commercial acceptance on Bush Doctor, the former Wailers guitarist reasserted his cranky contrarian militancy on this album -- which is why he never reached the mega-stardom of his countryman Bob Marley. Unlike his old Wailers bandmate, Tosh had little interest in leavening his music's fiercely political bent, which effectively cemented his acquired-taste status (at least to American audiences). "Rumors of War" and "Fight On" explicitly address black majority rule in South Africa, a subject that few '70s artists even touched. Similarly, "Recruiting Soldiers" vows to physically ...

Sly, Wicked & Slick CD music
$13.35
New York-based reggae producer Lloyd "Bullwackie" Barnes quietly created some of the best dub reggae of the 1980s, including this delightfully nocturnal-sounding gem originally released in 1982. Everything is stripped back to essentials here, with only an occasional vocal line (courtesy of Jah Butta) floating in and out of the mix, while the unhurried rhythms (by the Bullwackies All Stars and the New Breed) make the seven tracks feel like a single integrated suite. Highlights include "Mash It Up," a version of Junior Delgado's "Sons of Slaves" called "Slave Dub," and Clive Hunt's take on "Rockfort Rock," called here -- what else? -- "Rockfort Dub." This same set (with exactly the same art work) first appeared on CD from Wackies in 2002. ~ Steve Leggett
