One advantage of being in lockdown is that I have more time to listen to my vinyl

'Blackheart Man' - nice, his debut solo album (1976). Contains the 'Dreamland' song with some of the sweetest vocals... Of the early Marley albums that feature Bunny W (& P Tosh), I have 'Catch a Fire' & 'Burnin'' (both 1973) only in this Marley Box Set (which was kindly sold to me by an A-Enz member as I recall).  Up till a few years ago, I had no solo Bunny Wailer on my reggae shelf, then I came across these 2 albums...  Wailer had an easy, rootsy style, even when he was 'Fighting Against Conviction'.

I spun that 'Rootsman Skanking' the other night, a NZ Jayrem vinyl & I was reminded that it sounds not bad at all... (Excuse the rubbish iph mic sound...)
