Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock
June 14th 2006 12:16
Despite being born into a rich reggae family, there was no mimicking of Muscial Youth’s popularity through the appeal of adolescent reggae for Damian Marley. 1996 was the year for his first release – Mr Marley. Though by no means old, his music has come from a thoughtful reflective process. It wasn’t until 2001 that he released on a major label – rather fittingly Motown, a label as famous for some of its talent as the Marley name itself. This album on Motown, Halfway Tree won the Reggae Grammy in 2001, which is some feat.
On Halfway Tree and likewise on his newest album Welcome to Jamrock, Marley collaborates with some really big names of the reggae world. I like this as long as it is without quality musicians and with people like Bounty Killer you do get quality. These collaborations invite a wide diversity into the sound of an album and for this I think Marley should be congratulated. So many artists in the reggae genre produce albums of songs that lack any kind of diversity and although Marley is not my favourite artist, I enjoy his music.
Listen to Move from Damian Marley’s album Welcome to Jamrock.
