Natty Dread captures Bob Marley's decisive transition from Wailers band member to auteur, his singing and writing now front and center, and the revamped band securely reined in to his defiant, Rastafarian worldview.
Natty Dread is my favorite Bob Marley album, and every stupid college kid who has only listened to his greatest hits compilation should buy it so they can know what Marley was really about.
"Natty Dread," was released in the aftermath of the breakup of the original Wailers in the Fall of 1973 when Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh left to pursue solo careers.

 Natty Dread- the album that spawned a roots revolution - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
Released in February 1975, Natty Dread sold relatively well in the United States and solidified Marley's growing reputation in the United Kingdom.
Knotty Dread was co-written by Marley and his good friend, football star Allan "Skill" Cole; the uptempo song was another hit in Jamaica, and Marley and his new band began recording material for the album of the same name at the Harry J Studios in Kingston, where Catch A Fire and Burnin' were also done.
While Catch A Fire struck a match for reggae, Natty Dread was the album that was responsible for the roots revolution of the mid and late 1970s.

 Bob Marley and the Wailers: Natty Dread - PopMatters Music Review
Natty Dread, Live, and Rastaman Vibration, were the first three releases in the post-Bunny and Peter era and helped establish Robert Nesta Marley as one of the most significant artist of the late 20th century.
If Natty Dread, released in November of 1974, is generally considered the most important of Marley's recordings, then the opening track "Lively Up Yourself" must logically be considered among his finest individual performances.
The highlight of Live is "No Woman, No Cry." A studio version of the song originally appeared on Natty Dread, but it is the live version that allows the song to take on a life of its own.

 Dread Locks - Hair
The clothing style of a Dread Lock wearer is usually found to be very simple and not at all trendy.
One method used to achieve the dreads is with a dread perm.
Since dread perms are purposely very damaging to the hair, some Dread Lock enthusiasts recommend taking the time to create the Dreads by hand, teasing and twisting with beeswax to lock them in and keep the hair lubricated.

 Review - Big Youth : Natty Universal Dread 1973-1979
With "Natty Cultural Dread 1973-1979" UK's foremost re-issue label Blood & Fire continues the grand tradition they have set with the release of the definitive "Jesus Dread" and "Heart Of The Congos" sets.
While listening to Big Youth records from that particular period in Jamaica's musical history, one of the most striking aspects is the spontaneity and looseness in the man's delivery while dropping his radical stream of consciousness jive talk atop the toughest riddims of the day.
"Natty Universal Dread 1973-1979" is one of the most exciting reggae re-issue packages, a must-have for all collector's of vintage reggae!

 Headlines - Natty Dread - A Weh We Want (Roots meets Lovers Rock)
His work in the seventies for producer Bunny Lee is exemplary in this respect, during the period of their association; they literally changed the way Jamaican music was to be recorded henceforth.
By 1972 Byles had a massive hit with the Dread anthem 'Beat Down Babylon' in 1975 'Curly Locks' entered the UK charts, Junior also had a huge hit the same year in Jamaica with 'Fade Away' for Joseph 'Joe Joe' Hookim at Channel One - one of the best early rockers tunes.
In 1975 he shifted from the lovers rock sensibility of recent efforts towards the more explicitly Rastafarian approach of records like 'Natty Dread Ina Greenwich Farm' and 'Natural Fact' later that year Campbell and Lee also launched 'The Gorgan' a boastful smash which yielded a series of hit sequels.

Instead, the album treats us to dramatic reinterpretations of each tune, performances that, at their best, make us stop and realize what great songs these are in the first place.
In stark contrast to some of Hunter's previous outings, which sometimes emphasized impressive technique (yes, that guitar and bass you're hearing is the simultaneous work of one guy) at the expense of innovation and variety, the playing on "Natty Dread" seethes with a far-reaching expansiveness.
Whatever the motivation -- and even if it's too much to hope that Hunter and "Natty Dread" will be leading the charge toward an updated land of jazz swing -- the Berkeley guitarist's tip of the hat to the Jamaican legend comes off an unqualified success.

 TrouserPress.com :: Big Youth
His front teeth inlaid with red, green and gold gems, Big Youth (Manley Buchanan) is probably the best-known and most popular of all reggae DJs, with a career that's been going strong since the early '70s.
(He's credited with coining the term "natty dread.") If U-Roy laid the foundation, Big Youth made it happen — he gave toasting style as well as something to say.
Dreadlocks Dread (reissued by Virgin in the Crucial Cuts series) features "Marcus Garvey Dread" (a toast of the Burning Spear classic), "Train to Rhodesia" and "House of Dread Locks." The LP marks Big Youth's development as a composer, and his increased reliance on Rasta subject matter.

When Hunter turns "Lively Up Yourself" and "Bend Down Low" from his Natty Dread into soul-jazz, organ-combo shuffles or "Dem Belly Full" into a Latin-jazz blowing session, he divorces them so completely from the originals that they lose their connection to Marley.
In choosing to record Bob Marley's classic 1974 reggae album Natty Dread track-for-track in an instrumental jazz style, eight-string guitarist Charlie Hunter opened himself up for skepticism.
Yet an idea that looked questionable in theory would prove stellar in practice, as Hunter turned Natty Dread -- with the songs sequenced exactly as they were on Marley's original release -- into one of the best CDs of his career.

Every year, new releases join the old favorites to become part of the ongoing tradition but that tradition has stretched considerably over the years.
It is very difficult to find these days but the manner in which Ellis and Trinity recast songs like "White Christmas" and "Joy to the World" is worth the search.
Both take very familiar songs and remake the lyrics in a Rasta fashion in a way that is both pointed and often brilliantly funny.

 big youth, natty universal dread 1973-79
Youth took the popular dancehall style’s mix of US radio-derived jive talk, outrageous hiccups and yelps, and gratuitous boasting, and gave it substance in the shape of Rastafarian sloganeering and psalm-like pleas for peace and love.
As Steve Barrow’s excellent sleevenotes to this three-disc box set point out, Youth coined and popularised the term “natty dread” while Bob Marley was still doing stuff about being a soul rebel.
The man’s revolutionary blend of rasta chant, fl-power politics, nursery rhyme and spooked yelp is magical enough, but his self-produced backings of bass-heavy exuberance and brassy, stalking depth seal the deal.

 CD review: "Natty Dread"
As further evidence of how long a shadow the late Bob Marley still casts, please consider Exhibit A, the new CD from jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter.
Part of Blue Note's "Cover Series," in which the Capitol subsidiary's artists remake classic pop albums in a jazz vein, Hunter has tackled Marley's 1975 best-seller "Natty Dread."
Perhaps it shouldn't seem surprising, but Marley's genius went far beyond performing — in Hunter's hands Marley's songs show remarkable complexity and depth.
