Bob Marley & The Wailers - Catch a Fire Album

The Catch a Fire album stands as one of music's most outstanding debut discs. Bob Marley & The Wailers were already popular in Jamaica, but this album brought them an international following. They became a big hit in the United States when the tune "Stir it Up" was covered by Johnny Nash, setting the stage for the acceptance of reggae in this country. You just can't get enough of classic Marley songs like "Concrete Jungle" and "Slave Driver," which fully reveal Marley's seemingly spiritual political militancy. Peter Tosh's "Stop That Train" and "400 Years" both display why Tosh and Marley together made a reggae music team without peer.
