Julian Marley - A Time and Place (2003)

When your father is one of the most famous musicians in the world, and especially in your musical field, the inevitable comparisons begin before a note has been played. Fortunately for Julian Marley, A Time & Place is a lot more than just “Bob Marley’s son copying his dad.” This record is not only a reggae record, Marely infuses soul and funk to create some truly mesmerizing tracks throughout. His style is laid back, keeping the groove going while ensuring that he can put together something more than his name suggests. Sure, he will always have those comparisons to Bob Marley, but this album goes some way to making sure he is performing in his own right. For fans of: Bob Marley & The Wailers, The Silvertones, Creole
