 Reggae Reviews: Bunny Wailer
The relatively overlooked member of the "big three" of The Wailers, Bunny Wailer has for decades put out solid material that seems to have evaded the tastes of many fans who favor Bob Marley and Peter Tosh (Critics, on the other hand, have long lauded Wailer, evidenced by his 3 Grammy Awards.).
Wailer's style is not as distinct as either of those two, but it you take the time to listen to his music, you'll uncover its subtle beauty.
Wailer seems to excel when he decides to have a little fun, to not get caught up in the oft-serious nature of roots reggae.

 [The New] Rolling Stone Album Guide: Bunny Wailer
Bunny Wailer is the name that Neville (Bunny) Livingston took when he left the Wailers in 1972, just as Bob Marley was stepping to the forefront as an international star.
The reason given for Bunny's exit was that he didn't want to tour outside of Jamaica, but one has to wonder whether the most devoutly spiritual of the Wailers, the group that practically defined Rastafarianism, didn't have misgivings about impending stardom.
Bunny's music changed with the times, starting early in roots reggae and moving on through dancehall and ragga, the latter styles never quite reinforcing the sweetness of his singing nor the earnestness of his lyrics.
