Description

Includes many previously unreleased tracks on CD.Coinciding with the annual 420 celebrations.Features some of the greatest Jamaican talents.Over the past half-century, cannabis has been a major source of inspiration for many Jamaican musicians, as evidenced by the impressive number of tracks extolling its virtues released since the 1970s.Known by various names such as "marijuana," "herb," "weed," "collie," and "ganja," the plant has long been revered as a sacred herb by followers of the Rastafari faith, who believe its meditative qualities open the mind, purify the soul, and provide divine inspiration.Among those who have literally sung its praises is the legendary Bob Marley, but he was far from alone: nearly every great Jamaican songwriter has written and performed songs dedicated to this blessed herb.This 2-CD set is a perfect illustration of that. It brings together 46 of the most famous recordings celebrating cannabis from the 1970s and early 1980s. The first disc features vocal tracks by major names in Jamaican music such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, Dillinger, and Johnny Clarke.The second disc, meanwhile, presents some of the best dub tracks of the era, with titles referencing the famous "weed."With many tracks previously unreleased on CD, this lively and joyful collection can be listened to daily or savored on special occasions.
