Whether Marley sensed his time was running out while writing Uprising or not, his final musical statement was an album with incredible emotional resonance. Similar to "Survival", "Uprising" was a deep and serious collection of songs that explored the themes of sin and redemption with fire and brimstone.
Recorded at Dynamics Studio in a desolate industrial area near Trench Town, Uprising was the band's tenth album for Island Records and was produced by Marley and the Wailers under the steady leadership of Chris Blackwell. When Marley Blackwell first presented the songs he wanted to put on the album, Blackwell advised him to add a few uptempo numbers to balance out the many slow and serious songs. Marley obliged with "Could You Be Loved" - which became the album's biggest hit - and "Coming In From The Cold", an upbeat, upbeat piece chosen as the opening track.
But the song that truly defined Uprising and became a fitting elegy to the greatest reggae star the world has ever seen was the closing track, "Redemption Song." A simple ballad that Marley sang accompanied only by his own acoustic guitar, it was a song and performance unlike any he had recorded before. The simple arrangement - so simple that it's not actually recognizable as a reggae song - was developed with the assistance of the clever Blackwell. And the words opened a window into the singer's soul.
On his 75th birthday Twelve titles by Bob Marley will be re-released on his birthday. The audio was remastered using Abbey Road Studios' half-speed process. Tracks include the best-selling reggae album “Legend” and “Catch A Fire,” which was originally recorded by The Wailers in Jamaica.
