Bob Marley & Wailers - Kaya (2LP)

Facts Double vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered and expanded deluxe edition. 40th Anniversary of Bob Marley & The Wailers' classic Kaya album. Recorded in part during Marley's and the band's 1977 exile in London, Kaya is very much the sibling record to Exodus. Fittingly, as Ziggy Marley revisited the original session recordings for last year's Exodus 40 celebration, this year sibling Stephen Marley revisits the original session recordings to commemorate Kaya, bringing a fresh perspective to this suite that's quietly referred to as the Peace Treaty album. The Kaya album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. The album's songs primarily revolve around love, as well as marijuana.
