5.0 out of 5 stars Damian Marley's first album and ode to his father., November 3, 2005

The title of Mr. Marley is truly the correct one. Many tracks contain the lyrics of Bob Marley, sung by Bob's son and Damian's half-brother Stephen. Damian toasts his way through an array of roots, and sometimes almost hip hop influenced reggae. This was a Marley production, and there's plenty of Marley influence. Some beats come from the days when Damian had seen his big brother Ziggy, and his band The Melody Makers (contained Cedella Marley, Bob's daughter), others are complete creations by Stephen "Raggamuffin" Marley, who has produced not only Damian's album, but "Chant Down Babylon", a Bob Marley album containing many of hip hops largest name. The Marley Brothers truly start to develop the type of music you hear later in "Halfway Tree" and "Welcome To Jamrock". It sounds nothing like "Welcome to Jamrock" for the most part, but is essential to understand the path Damian took to get to where he is musically at with his lyrics and stephen's producing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr. Marley by Damian Marley, September 6, 2002

This CD was bought for me by a dear friend. I should've kissed him for acknowledging how much I adore Jr. Gong. Many good songs are on this CD. He includes one of Bob's songs "One More Cup of Coffee" which captures the rootsie style of his dad. For being an early CD for Damian I thought it was great!! Mr. Marley's a classic! If you love Bob, this is a CD you must get. Damian is my favorite performer of all his children.

Thank you Bob, as if the legacy of his music was not enough, his greatest legacy is his Children. Zig Zag, Ragamuff, Ju Ju, and Ky-mani, have continued to carry the troch admirably. This CD is an absolute must own, Jr. is fast becoming the best Reggae artist around, and this CD really sticks to his roots while adding some great beats and lyrics, Raga Muff and Jr. are a deadly combo, and they absolutely rock this CD out, Kingston 12, One More Cup of Coffee, Trouble, are Great tribute to their Dad. Makes me want to have children, Bob must be in heaven with a smile ear to ear.
