The Vinyl Countdown # 19

Bob Marley, Survival (1979) Only just recently added this to my Bob Marley collection. I really love this album – but I’d ignored it for the longest time, figuring it was lesser. It’s not the case at all and (for right now at least) it’s one of my favourites from that magical decade of great […]

There’s passion, politics, melody, groove and so much of this music resonates with me still. But I don’t/can’t listen […]
