社会的メッセージと深いスピリットが宿る名盤。
Bob Marley & The Wailersによるアルバム。スピリチュアルなテーマと政治的意識を併せ持つレゲエ作品で、彼らの音楽的独立を示した内容。
本作はThe Wailersがトリオ編成で進化した最初期の記録として重要。リズムは堅固で、Aston Barrettのベースがグルーヴを牽引。Marleyのヴォーカルは祈りのような響きを持ち、歌詞のメッセージが力強く響く。ギターやパーカッションの細やかな配置が楽曲の立体感を生み、ミックスは明確な定位で仕上げられている。“No Woman, No Cry”“Lively Up Yourself”など代表曲を収録し、精神性とリズムの融合が極まった内容。レゲエの枠を越え、普遍的な人間性を訴える傑作。
