Playlist: The Very Best of Peter Tosh [PA]

Performer: Peter Tosh
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: Personnel: Peter Tosh (vocals). Peter Tosh's solo career has been unjustly overshadowed by the legend of his ex-bandmate Bob Marley. Fortunately for those who have slept on Tosh's discography, there are fine compilations like PLAYLIST'S VERY BEST. The PLAYLIST series prides itself on its environmentally friendly packaging and its tasteful track selection, and the latter proves true on this disc with the inclusion of "Legalize It," "Equal Rights," "Downpressor Man," and Marley classics like "Get Up Stand Up." All in all, this is a fine place to sample Tosh's fiercely passionate, politically charged roots reggae.

Along with Bob Marley, Peter Tosh was a founding member of Jamaican reggae legends the Wailers. With his rough-and-tumble sound and image, Tosh gave the early incarnation of the Wailers an edge that was informed by ska and its "rude boy" lifestyle. Splitting from the group in the mid-1970s, Tosh embarked on a solo career with the pro-marijuana album LEGALIZE IT. Sadly, in 1987, Tosh was gunned down during an incident at his home in Kingston, ending the life of a reggae innovator.
