Reply To: Bob Marley & The Wailers – Natty Dread (1974)
Oh man – the best Bob Marley album is a purely subjective question. There are times when I would agree with you that Natty Dread is the best. I love the raw vocal quality on this record. But, I’m also a huge fan of a lot of his other music!
Did you know that he almost signed with Grateful Dead Records in early 1974? They talked about it on the latest episode of the The Good Ole Grateful Deadcast. With Natty Dread being released in ’74, perhaps this was the record that would have come out on Grateful Dead Records, had the deal gone through?
Interesting food for thought.
