Wailing Blues: The Story of Bob Marley's "Wailers"
Author(s): John Masouri
Written in collaboration with Family Man and other surviving band members, "Wailing Blues" reveals the truth behind the Marley legacy. It traces the early lives of the Barrett brothers before they joined Marley in the '60s and discusses how reggae artists like Lee 'Scratch' Perry influenced the band. It includes insider accounts of the assassination attempt on Marley and his exile in London. It examines how hits like "Exodus", "Waiting in Vain", "No Woman No Cry", and "I Shot The Sheriff" were made - songs that have helped change the face of popular music.
