BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS – African Herbsman
Trojan, 1973

Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-release of an important early Wailers album (no kidding, All Music Guide counts 12 reissues, 3 on CD). Now with 10 bonus tracks. Produced by the immortal Lee "Scratch" Perry. Very good remastering.

You know what Bob Marley sounds like. Try any track.

Fo's Picks: 1, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 23, 24

1. slow version of classic
5. lively, ska rhythm
8. nice 60s r&b vocals
10. easy sway, no-frills
12. odd, a sneaky edge
15. spacey riff, cool vox
16. dubby & strong
23. cool version of #6
24. dub version of #6
