BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS : ONE LOVE - THE VERY BEST OF BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS |
|
Label : Island Length : 68:24 Released : 2001 Review (AllMusic) : This isn't really Legend, it just feels that way. This 20-track collection contains the great bulk of that classic compilation, but where that album has its own internal logic - one of the reasons it is undeniably a classic compilation - this one devotes itself to a chronological spin through Marley's catalog, containing almost every song on that record. "Satisfy My Soul" is missing and "Redemption Song" is here in an alternate band version, but that's not a big deal, since this does stretch out to 20 songs total. So, for listeners looking for more bang for their buck, this really may be a better choice than Legend, since it contains more songs. But the thing is, Legend may be leaner, but that works in its favor, since it tells the story succinctly and leaves you wanting more. After listening to One Love you've had enough Marley, but that's not the same thing as being satiated. Review (Wikipedia) : One Love: The Very Best of Bob Marley & The Wailers is a compilation album of Bob Marley and the Wailers songs that was released on the Island Records label in 2001. |
