Wonderfully eclectic, genre bending, adventurous country-inflected music that works on more levels than it really has any right to,
Marley's Ghost's sixth album continues the group's marriage of disparate elements. Uniting country and reggae on "Johnny Too Bad" and melding bagpipes with steel guitars in "River Dunce" are rather unprecedented steps, but
Marley's Ghost is just as well suited with straight honky tonk elements like "Nothing but the Past," the faithful reggae of Bob Marley's "Guava Jelly," and the Delta blues of "Key to the Highway." Though everyone might not appreciate the liberties they take,
Marley's Ghost proves that when music is made with this much passion and spirit, as well as sharp instrumental chops, the results can be very satisfying. ~ Matt Fink
