The Best of Ziggy Marley And The Melody Makers (1988 - 1993) by Ziggy Marley, The Melody Makers - DeepRiffs

COMPILATION

Although not as extensive as 1997’s best-of compilation (that set has 17 tracks as opposed to this set’s 12), 2008’s THE BEST OF ZIGGY MARLEY AND THE MELODY MAKERS is still a fine round-up of the outfit’s sunny reggae-pop. Along with the group’s highest charting single, “Tomorrow People,” from 1988’s CONSCIOUS PARTY, THE BEST OF includes “Met Her On a Rainy Day,” “Freedom Road,” and “Tumblin’ Down.” Although Ziggy Marley’s music isn’t as roots-conscious as his father’s, the messages of political consciousness, freedom, unity, and positive energy shine through on each of these tracks.
