With our love that is right.

I LOVE this song....rock it, baby; rock it, baby, tonight :)

[sublime90803]

best song ever

[jackwilshiresfakeid]

@FREEDOM3517 It's not really that early taking his early days in Jamaica into account - post Wailing Wailers and African Herbsman but before the days in which he had hits outside of the UK - Exodus, Survival etc. He was 27 or 28 at the time of recording this

[TheCoolBand1]

As The Wailers would say.."The music hits you and you feel no pain." Also, about the "western" touches, these were added intentionally by studio musicians because the music execs in England wanted to make the album as accessible as possible. The story of this album is actually really interesting of culture clash. The studio guitarist he said "I couldnt find the 1 for nothing. Then the engineer said no, just listen to the music and feel it. THen I got it."

[lifeofatomboy]

someone hit dislike must have been a mistake....I forgive you....next time be more careful

[Luckyhat66]

When that slide guitar gets a hold of you. DANG! A very nice "western" touch on this song. I'm glad they decided to do that.

[FREEDOM3517]

This is early Bob,...what can I say. Genius from birth to death man.

SO, what is Bob's age at this recording??? anyone know,

His locks are about to the shoulder's in this photo.

Anyone know? Bless.
