Description

Ziggy Marley returned to more adult-oriented fare with his fourth solo album Wild and Free, a pro-cannabis album thats suitably laid-back, militant, and organic. Helping with the organic is producer Don Was, who surrounds Ziggy with warm tones and good vibes and nothing feeling showy or cold. This enhances the freely developing numbers like Roads Less Traveled (a slowly chugging track that sounds inspired by Dads classic Wailers cut Exodus) and A Sign (one of those light, bright songs that reminds you Ziggys Melody Makers often shared the same new hippie spirit as hip-hops Arrested Development). Freedom and marijuana fuel the album as pro-pot advocate Woody Harrelson offers narration on the excellent title track, while Changes lead to a Personal Revolution and on to enlightenment.
