My daughter is ten months old, and she has been enjoying Bob Marley's music since the van ride home from the hospital after her birth. She has heard all the songs on this CD numerous times in their original forms, and she loves to dance around with Mommy and Daddy to them. When I put this CD in the player the day we got it, she squeeled with delight, and immediately started bouncing up and down, wanting to be danced around. She is ecstatic about "B is for Bob", and so am I. It introduces a brand new generation to this wonderful music in a great way, and for older fans, these new mixes are a completely new way to hear some of your old favorites! The reworking of "Jammin'" has got to be my favorite on this CD by far...the drum-circle vibe of it is just phenomenal.
This was done with much respect to the original material, by none other than Bob's oldest son, Ziggy. He put a lot of care into reworking his father's songs, and that love shines on this CD. Ziggy has said he wanted it to seem as if Bob was there singing right to the listener - he succeeded! The vocals are right out front on most tracks, sounding as if Bob Marley is actually singing right next to you! Awesome! This CD is a fun way to get your kids into something other than the formulaic top 40 pop that inundates the airwaves these days, and teach them what good music is all about. Ziggy has ensured with this release that his father's musical legacy will continue well after even he has passed from this life. I am going to purchase a copy of this for every kid under ten that I know!

For some, this may look like just another Bob Marley & The Wailers compilation, but for the fans, it's a record that contain new remixes. Amazon omitted to write the complete titles of the songs. Here are the real titles:THREE LITTLE BIRDS (2009 remix), REDEMPTION SONG (2009 mix), WAKE UP AND LIVE Pt.1 (regular song, from 1979), BEND DOWN LOW (2009 remix), LIVELY UP YOURSELF (regular song, from 1974), JAMMING (2009 remix), SMALL AXE (2009 remix), ONE LOVE/PEOPLE GET READY (regular from 1977), SATISFY MY SOUL (2009 remix), COULD YOU BE LOVED (regular, from 1980), STIR IT UP (2009 remix), HIGH TIDE OR LOW TIDE (2009 mix). The most interesting thing is that an alternate take was used for SATISFY MY SOUL. My favorite remix on this CD is JAMMING.

The family already loves Bob Marley so we were excited to hear some "reimaginings" of these songs. Sadly, only three or four songs are "new" versions, with minor changes to the originals, Jamming and Small Axe...
Otherwise, the songs are the original versions we've heard on the original albums, perhaps with MINOR changes.
I'm not complaining because all Bob songs are wailing, but I was expecting new musicians and more kid-friendly versions, as advertised.
Tuff-Gong has done a good job at remarketing their only seller, the king, Bob Marley.
Just listen to his original work.

Acoustic Bob
This CD is a very stripped down version
of some classics. I purchased it for
the tonal qualities it displayed on
three little birds and other cuts. Read more
