Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released shortly before his tragic passing, Bob Marley's final studio album with The Wailers is a profoundly spiritual, beautifully melodic testament to his Rastafarian faith. 'Uprising' perfectly balances fiercely conscious, political roots reggae anthems with deeply warm, highly uplifting acoustic ballads, cementing his legacy as a global musical icon.
