Legend (Deluxe Edition)

这个人值得脱帽致敬。1945年出生于牙买加的Bob Marley将源于牙买加民间音乐的Reggae音乐综合了流行元素，予以发扬光大，让这一音乐形式走向世界。他在牙买加有民族英雄一般的声望，当他36岁因癌症英年早逝的时候，举国哀悼，为他举行了隆重的国葬。这张1984年发行的精选集是对他短暂而精彩的一生的总结。 这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第46位。 The classic Marley album, the one that any fair-weather reggae fan owns, Legend contains 14 of his greatest songs, running the gamut from "I Shot the Sheriff" to the meditative "Redemption Song" and the irrepressible "Three Little Birds." Some may argue that the compilation shortchanges his groundbreaking early ska work or his status as a political commentator, but this isn't meant to be definitive, it's meant to be an introduction, sampling the very best of his work. And it does that remarkably well, offering all of his genre-defying greats and an illustration of his excellence, warmth, and humanity. In a way, it is perfect since it gives a doubter or casual fan anything they could want. Let's face it, the beauty and simplicity of Marley's music was as important as his message, and that's captured particularly well here.
