If being heir to a musical legacy like Bob Marley's seems like big shoes to fill, the eldest Marley son, Ziggy--along with his Melody Makers--has done a commendable job, bringing his brand of positive pop-reggae to a worldwide audience unimaginable even by his late father. Although Ziggy's own decidedly radio-friendly tunes contain a crossover appeal that has resonated most with fans outside of Jamaica, his own roots are still steeped in that island's rich musical heritage. ZIGGY MARLEY IN JAMAICA is a compilation surveying Marley's formative influences from early ska and rocksteady to later roots and lovers rock. Featuring all the giants of Jamaican music from the early `60s on, including Desmond Dekker, Toots & the Maytals, and Gregory Isaacs, IN JAMAICA is an exceptional roundup of some of the island's greatest music.
