I don't imagine this'll help much, but as a devoted Marley fan my suggestion would be to toss the Legend album and buy the original albums. The songs are much, much better in their proper original context. (I bought Legend and played it twice before it was banished!)
Bob Marley...Legend vs. New Album....
Category: Music
There's a new Bob Marley album out...apparently that has replaced Legend. I found out about this when my friend lost my Legend album and replaced it with the new one. I listened to the new album and, although nearly all the Legend songs are there, I just didn't like it so much. The most obvious, unforgivable sin on the album was to replace the old acoustic version of Redemption Song with a Reggae version. Other than that, I can't put my finger on why I like the old album so much better...better recording...better picture of Bob on the cover....anyone else feel the same or to the contrary?
