Published by Sanctuary in the united states in 2002, the one used for this page being the european edition released in 2003.

This is a 360 pages book about bob marley lyrics and their understanding, written by award winning poet Kwame Dawes.

He goes through each island records lp and dissects each song.

One thing that the book does is give some insight to the various
jamaican saying bob marley would use in his songs.

Bob Marley always had a way of appealing to the world market but always has enough local
jamaican flavor and sayings in his songs he never alienated his jamaican bredrin.

Nonetheless a nice book about Bob Marley written on a interesting topic.
