Ziggy Marley – Family Time Reviewed by Sadie O., 7/12/09 Roots rock reggae for kids, by Ziggy, head of the Marley clan for almost 30 years now… Lots and lots of top ranking guests. I’m usually a terrible cynic, but I have to admit I’m really touched by this stuff. It’s really positive and upbeat, simple but sophisticated. No FCCs –duh! Everything’s lovely. 1. 4:21 **sounds of kids playing, then mellow acoustic groove. Celebration of family – sweet. Features a tiny child toward the end – I guess one of Ziggy’s kids? 2. 3:33 ***uptempo roots bubble with tuba blats. Features Ziggy’s mom and sis. 3. 4:43 ***mellow blues-infused acoustic groove – no drums, but great guitar. Lovely vocals as well. 4. 3:18 ***bouncy, upbeat but midtempo bubble, happy song about Jamaica (so few songs about Jamaica these days are….) Features Toots Hibbert. My kids are in Jamaica as I write this, and I’m crying a river… 5. 3:52 ***downtempo simple march, cute kid’s play song, take-off on Simon Says. Dreamlike ending. 6. 3:39 ***shaker intro, bouncy midtempo bubble, famous spiritual featuring Willie Nelson, rendered for kids but with great singing and guitar. 7. 4:17 **midtempo acoustic groove with a bit of Nyahbinghi drumming, cover of a folk classic with pretty female guest vocals. Ends with a lot of really pretty guitar, long fade with hand drums. 8. 4:02 ****downtempo loping stroll, Ziggy’s alphabet with chorus of “Bend Down Low”. Fun bits of vocals. 9. 3:37 ***energetic hand drum intro, downtempo rootsy skank. Cover of an old Trinidadian calypso song – swingy and cute. 10. 3:16 ***syncopated and a bit bluesy groove, positivity message, features Paul Simon. 11. 3:38 **midtempo roots skank with whistling. Pretty female guest vocals. Seems to be all about sustainable energy… 12. 0:54 spoken word for kids, narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis. 13. 2:32 *spoken word ostensibly for kids, narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis. | ||
