Like father, like son


Children's music is dominating Ziggy Marley's making these days both for himself and his father, Bob Marley. His upcoming album "Family Time" will be released on May 5th which includes what he refers as "family music" along with a couple of covers from Woody Guthrie's "This train" and a Jamaican children classic "Hold em Joe" It will also include guests stars, Jamie Lee Curtis, Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Jack Johnson, Toots Hibbert along with mother Rita Marley and sister Cedella Marley. "It's a very different vibe," says Ziggy, "but still real Bob. It's not like fake Bob. It's still the real Bob...It's Bob singing and I'm playing, like an acoustic session almost. Anything I did on this record is soulful and musical. There's no gimmicks. I'm keeping true to the spirit of my father, to the spirit of his music."
