It is hard to listen to this without comparing it to arguably the most successful compilation CD that the music industry has ever seen, Legend. As a loyal fan of Marley, compilation discs always leave the question of why one song was included at the cost of another. Ziggy Marley was dealing with perfection and legacy when creating this CD. Although he could’ve made a CD with every one of Marley’s songs, B is for Bob includes a great flow of Marley’s range of musical innovations. New listeners of Marley get a great taste of his work in these twelve tracks. Casual listeners will enjoy the new flavor Ziggy Marley added to his father’s hits.
Included in this CD is bonus online content such as coloring pages, activities, and a sing-a-long video. In addition, Ziggy Marley posted samples of his new Family Time album in the online content. Each CD also comes with a year subscription to Parents Magazine. Striving for eco-awareness, B is for Bob comes in a recyclable and biodegradable Eco-Pak.
I strongly recommend this album. It is a great album for both new and old Marley listeners. In addition to B is for Bob, I recommend his original albums such as Babylon by Bus, Exodus, and Legend. Whether you’re 10 or 100, B is for Bob is simply continuing the Marley legacy.
