This is a review of the CD "Babylon by Bus" by Bob Marley. The album was recorded in 1978 and has been remastered. The reviewer says that the album is very good and that there is not a dud song on the album.
Bob Marley's second live album, 1978's
Babylon by Bus, had to be pretty damned good to match the incandescence of 1975's
Live!. But with glorious performances on songs like "Punky Reggae Party," "Jamming," and "Is This Love?" Bob Marley and the Wailers came close to equaling
Live!. Maybe there wasn't quite the same amount of inspiration, but the Wailers had matured into a tight unit, and Marley was a charismatic performer, as this set captured only too well. And with Marley still at the height of his writing powers, there definitely wasn't a dud song in the bunch. Not so much bus travel as limousine listening, this specially remastered edition makes the glory of the original release even clearer.
