Bob Marley and the Wailers: “Natty Dread”

For Marley, as well as for the entire evolution of reggae music, “Natty Dread” was a cornerstone work. It was the Jamaican star’s first album following the departure of key Wailers members Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, prompting a return to the band’s official moniker of Bob Marley and the Wailers (from simply The Wailers). The record boasts two of the band’s most enduring songs, “No Woman No Cry” and “Lively Up Yourself,” making “Natty Dread” a social and sexual revolution set to reggae rhythms.
