Bob Marley and The Wailers – Exodus

Description

This is the visionary Bob Marley’s masterpiece, a concept album that distills the myriad experiences of both our daily lives and collective unconsciousness into 46 minutes of aural perfection.

The singles “One Love” and “Jamming” will be familiar to anyone with even a passing acquaintance with Jamaican music, but just as vital are the touchingly vulnerable love song “Waiting In Vain”, the title track, and the splendid “Guiltiness”.

This was the first album to feature Junior Murvin on guitar, while the expressive use of horns adds new texture to the established quality of the Wailers’ backing.
