 Bob Marley & the Wailers: Soul Rebels - PopMatters Music Review
It was also the first Marley & the Wailers record to be released in the UK (it was not released in America.) Most importantly, it was the crowning achievement of Marley & the Wailers' collaboration with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry.
The Wailers' love of and influence by American R&B music is evidenced by "Try Me", a James Brown re-working, and the playful "Rebel's Hop", which interpolates bits of the Temptations' "Cloud Nine" into a Curtis Mayfield cover.
Marley's own "It's Alright" is just as soulful, with Marley's assertion that he's "got to groove" amid funky organ bits and a percussive effect that sounds like a spoon being tapped against a glass.

 Bob Marley and The Wailers
The genius of Marley is shown in the surprisingly uptempo, funky "I Shot the Sheriff" (I say "surprisingly" because you tend to remember songs differently than they actually sound, this one in particular, since it has been remade so many times -- most successfully by Eric Clapton.).
Possibly Bob Marley's most consistent album, this effort shows that even as he got older, he was as strong as ever (artistically if not physically).

Jaffe’s main draw will be his gorgeous color photos of Bob and Co. Yet although Cumbo has much less direct access to the Wailers’ scene, her book in many ways offers a more personal view of Bob and the Wailers.
According to Jaffe, he and Bob drove constantly in the first years of Bob’s Island career, in an “interminable, relentless, intractable…search for the better herb.” They would also drive many miles out of the way to find a particular sort of mango that could only be found at a particular moment on a remote tree.
Marley encourages her incipient career as a photographer, saying “You take some different kind’a picture.” On this and a return trip in October, Cumbo begins to experience the sexism and machismo of Jamaican culture.

"Kaya" is a transitional album for the Wailers between the unabashed reggae of their early releases, and the slow yet steady move towards mainstream pop music with a reggae twist-"Survival," their next lp, would complete the transition.
Marley took some criticism for his mellow approach on this album (which he was soon to answer with the militant "Survival"), but "Kaya" has always been my favorite of Island's Marley albums.
