“Soul Rebels” by Bob Marley and The Wailers - album review

features in: Album Chart of 1970Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s

TJR says

Following LPs cut by Coxsone Dodd (1965) and Leslie Kong (1970) the Wailers moved on to work with Lee Perry who was, by now, getting deeper into a bass-dominated roots-reggae sound. Recording sessions took place at Randy’s Studio 17 in the fall of 1970, and the LP was out by December. At the time of release the vocal group were: Bob Marley (25), Peter Tosh (26) and Bunny Wailer (23). They’ve yet to truly set the heather ablaze on the album front, but this is the best to date, solid and rootsy throughout, and can boast of a fantastic opener in “Soul Rebels”. Pity about that front cover shot, very unrepresentative of the group and used without their consultation.
