The Story Behind: Bob Marley and the Wailers - Natty Dread, Ep 58

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums.

The fellows discuss politically-charged songs, hammond organ attack dynamics, and the insanely far reach of this music into nearly every corner of the world.
