Love Is My Religion

Performer: Ziggy Marley
Engineer: Marc Moreau
Producer: Ziggy Marley; Ross Hogarth
Distributor: Universal Distribution

Notes: With LOVE IS MY RELIGION, Ziggy Marley continues down the musical path he began in the 1980s. Although no longer with the Melody Makers, Ziggy stays true to the sound he made with that band: a smooth, burbling tapestry of rhythm and melody that owes debts to his father's later albums and the Afropop of King Sunny Ade. Marley's strengths as a songwriter have grown too, as solid album cuts such as the ska-inflected "Black Cat" and the sweetly inspiring "Into the Groove," prove.

The eldest son of the most famed reggae performer in history, Ziggy scored the first U.S. top 40 hit for the Marley name in 1988's upbeat "Tomorrow People" off his third album, CONSCIOUS PARTY. Surrounded by a backing band of family members collectively known as the Melody Makers, Ziggy Marley carries on in Bob's tradition, composing and performing smooth, socially conscious roots reggae songs. A sought-after college performer, Marley kept his flame alive into the `00s on the well-received DRAGONFLY.
