Bob Marley is perhaps the most important voice of Reggae music, crossing-over and achieving an iconic status in the mainstream pop industry. His songs of protest, freedom, liberation, love and equality have become some of the best-loved songs of the era, poignantly evoking the struggles, hardships and injustices of a troubled time. This special addition to the Chord Songbook series presents all 124 Bob Marley songs as featured on such albums as African Herbsman and Catch A Fire, right up to Uprising and Confrontation, including extra songs from later compilations. All the songs have been arranged with a full chord guide and complete lyrics.

Throughout his life and perhaps even more since his death in 1981 at the age of 36, Bob Marley's music has demonstrated a unique ability to combine with almost any cultural setting, no matter how different the elements might at first appear. Through his adaptable, yet enduring musical messages, he represents an especially articulate type of singer-songwriter. Marley released a large quantity of introspective, autobiographical material at the height of his success and it is thus only in a work such as this—in which the artist is investigated through his recorded output—that one can understand who this great man truly was and what he hoped to achieve through his life and music.

Alarmed, she confronts her little mam and discovers she is from a long line of psychic mediums. Despite an exciting new avenue of life opening up to Tanz, darkness isn’t far away and all too soon there’s murder in the air . . .
