The Story of Bob Marley by Future Bookazines
It was a joy to work with Future Bookazines again earlier this year, on a special Story of Bob Marley bookazine.
Teenage me would not have believed that one day somebody would pay me to listen to and write about Bob Marley!
The bookazine is filled with iconic imagery and features a foreward by the legendary Don Letts, as well as articles that explore Bob Marley’s life – including his spirituality, the revolutionary message of his music and how he won over fans all over the world.
It also features track-by-track breakdowns of Bob Marley’s biggest albums – including 6 written by me! I penned the album analysises for Catch A Fire, Burnin’, Natty Dread, Rastaman Vibration, Exodus and Kaya. I really enjoyed listening back to these albums in depth and researching the stories behind them and the legacies they left.
