Bunny Wailer Music
- Discography:
Bunny Wailer
Artist Overview
In the seminal reggae band the Wailers, his clear, ringing tenor made him the perfect high-harmony foil for childhood friends Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, but Bunny Wailer also contributed a number of powerhouse lead vocals and songs to the group. After several years of recording and touring successfully with the band, Wailer left in 1974 to pursue a solo career. He hit the ground running in '76 with BLACKHEART MAN, a now-classic collection of rousing roots anthems, and continued to release albums to acclaim over the next two decades. His recording and touring career have been hampered somewhat by a reluctance to leave Jamaica, but the artist commands the respect of long-time fans based on his history and contribution to the reggae canon.
