Ziggy Marley (Bob's son) produced the kid-lite album "B is for Bob". An enjoyable album, it's produced with the little ones in mind. Perfect for families who's only reggae album in their entire collection is "Legend". It's also produced in a way that allows the lyrics and basic rhythm to shine through. So this is also perfect for someone like my son, who loves to sing along. Isaac's a big fan of Bob Marley.
Personally, I'd rather play the originals. Or even better, Bob's old stuff, back when he was churning out early Jamaican ska (the precursor to Jamaican reggae). Kids love the upbeat that makes ska music ska. Gets them dancing. I'll post a few of my early Bob favorites for you to put in the mix.
B is for Bob, or ska favorites. You can't go wrong either way.
