 Review - Bunny Wailer : Crucial! Roots Classics
Bunny Wailer is one of the founding members of the Wailers, and the trio's only surviving member.
Livingston had enough, and upon the group's return to Jamaica, he announced that he would not accompany the band to the U.S. He now began pursuing a solo career.
Of course, in the end there was no need for Livingston to fear, since Marley's death, shelves have been warped under the weight of Wailers' reissues, but in the early '80s, it's understandable that Livingston was concerned that the group's music might have disappeared forever into the archives.

 Bunny Wailer(Livingston)
Born Neville O'Reilly Livingstone and dubbed Bunny Wailer, this crucial Jamaican singer and songwriter was raised as Bob Marley's brother from the age of nine.
Bunny's "Pass It On" was one of the standout tracks on the final album The Wailers did together as a trio, 1973's Burning.
Today Bunny is obsessed with reaching the teenage dancehall crowd, attempting to wean them away from the predominant slackness of the form and back to a recognition of the truth and rights that were reggae's original concerns.

 Rita should apologise, says Bunny Wailer - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
Neville 'Bunny Wailer' Livingston, the sole surviving member of the Wailers trio, says Bob Marley's widow, Rita Marley, should apologise for her recent claim that she was raped by the late reggae superstar.

 Bunny Wailer - Liberation: Reviews, Track Listing, Audio Clips, and more ||| Music.com
Once Bunny was out of the shadow of Peter and Bob, it became clear that his was, in some ways, the more fully integrated talent and the more grounded vision.
Bunny may simply be the best singer of the three -- Bob always seemed to be possessed by the song, sometimes shaken across the stage like a rag doll by the need to get the words out of his head.
But Bunny is always in control of both his instrument and his material, and is, in some ways, a more effective messenger because of it.

 Review - Bunny Wailer : Retrospective
Tribute to the Hon Nesta Marley was drawn from the same sessions as had produced Bunny Wailer Sings, and again was determined to help keep the Wailers' legacy alive.
Unfortunately, Livingston hadn't quite come to the grips with the new rhythms flooding from their, while sadly, 1982's Hook Line & Sinker didn't make a much better impression.
Although not always successful, the singer was never tempted to wallow in the past, and has consistently given a sympathetic ear to the latest innovations in production and rhythms.

 Robert Christgau: CG: Artist 4023
You'd figure the loss of vocal and songwriting input from Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston would be crippling, and reggae melodies being what they are that's the way I heard it at first.
Neither Bunny's voice, strong by Jamaican standards but no soul shout, nor reggae's persuasive but rarely irrefutable rhythms, are suited to the more forceful (or is it just louder?) procedures of this follow-up.
Bunny follows his failed bid for the marketplace by going to the people where his roots are.

 Bob Marley & The Wailers - Burnin'
Some say it was the last American release on which Marley, Tosh, and Livingston all appeared; others suggest that Livingston had abandoned the group, in part because of Chris Blackwell's decision to give Marley name billing, and in part because of his own solo ambitions.
With guitarist/vocalist Peter Tosh and percussionist/vocalist Bunny Livingston in the lineup, Bob Marley's tight group of Rastafarian reggae warriors defined an entire genre with a socially concious, uplifting session that ranges from gospel to roots to rebel rock.
The big three were splintering, and strong bonus selections left off the original album, such as Livingston's mystic vision "Reincarnated Souls" and Tosh's weary lament "No Sympathy," are included in the 2004 deluxe edition reissue and suggest what might've been.
