Livingston’s relatively stale Hallelujah Time seems to recall a gospel spirit, which for one reason or another seems to clash with the rest of the record. The powerful and memorable opener, Get Up, Stand Up was co-written by Marley and Tosh, and serves as one of the band’s most memorable tracks.

In terms of the writing workload, this album isn’t very different from the previous three excursions, though Marley seems to take more general control this time around. With this incarnation’s final outing, Burnin’ (before Livingston and Tosh departed for their own solo careers, and Marley changed moniker’s to include himself and his backing band) the unit leaves with several notable highlights. The irony is that a lot of classic “Marley” moments that the general music lover population can recall came from the unit under the Wailer’s banner, with more than several tracks on the four albums in the band’s discography being credited to a member other than Bob. It’s unfortunate that Livingston and Tosh seem to fly under the radar with the likes of Marley fans who can simply recite a few verses of Jamming or One Love/People Get Ready. Bob Marley, Bunny Livingston, and Peter Tosh, collectively known (with the help of backing musicians) as The Wailers were - often without current recognition or distinction between Marley himself – responsible for a myriad of classics, first gaining mass in the band’s home country of Jamaica, then billowing forth upon the population of the U.K., North America, Europe, and beyond.

Review Summary: The final offering from The Wailers unit ends on a good note, ringing out the style that Marley would later take world-wide.īefore Bob Marley soared to international fame with his second incarnation, Bob Marley & the Wailers, the trio that started it all was busy quietly paving the way for future success.
