Bob Marley – Exodus

The OG of pop Reggae – I’m a pretty big fan (in fact one of my art projects in college was a drawing of him) three little birds is one of my favorite ‘happy jams’ that I’ll sing on warm spring mornings.  The music is consistently good and the themes through the songs are all relevant. I enjoyed listening to this and will add it to my summer rotation.  The title track is amazing and ‘Jammin’ is the quintessential drinking on the beach song!

Of course I need to mention ‘One Love’ probably one of his most popular songs – just a great song with an inspiring message of unity to help society.  Also a bit of an earworm that I found myself humming frequently after listening to it.

What the album reminds me of:  My late teenage years, walking on the boardwalk with my friends on a hot summer night with no cares or responsibility. Eating two slices and a coke at Sawmill pizza for $2.50 and just being a kid wearing a Baja hoodie, staying up late with my friends at the beach.

4/5 – There’s a few songs on here that don’t stand out (they tend to blend together a bit since they are musically similar)
