Catch a Fire

Rolling Stone Rank: 123

The album that introduced America to Bob Marley and his Whalers. Now, when I think of Bob Marley, for whatever reason, I think of the happy-go-lucky form of reggae, so this album kind of blew me out of the water. Lots of angst, pent up aggression, and passion just poured out of the record. I really enjoyed the edginess, and I can see how it caught the public's attention, really great stuff. Thoughts?
