Rasta Man Vibration, Yeahh

The first song on this particular album happens to be "Stir it Up." This song is one of my favorite Bob Marley songs, the bass guitarist absolutely shines, allowing the crowd to jam to the funky vibrations man. This particular style of music actually developed on the stage, not in the recording studio, like all great bands should. It became popular, and eventually it spread off of the island, and one of the most notable artists was Bob Marley and the Wailers, a group of talented Jamaican musicians who brought the soul, and rocked the house. The next song, "Get up, Stand up" is calling you to the spiritual battle field. I feel as if I talk a lot about dancing, or it has become a "motif," perhaps. You should know that I don't really spend my whole day dancing around with music on, but I really love to do it. Also on this album are "Trenchtown Rock" and the famous "No Woman No Cry"; which was not meant to mean if you don't have a woman you don't have troubles. Rather, he's telling a woman not to cry cuz "Everything is gonna be alright". The last song on this particular album is the eternal "Jamming," thus leaving the audience in a blissful state of being tired from dancing.
