Steel drums are the musical wonder of the 20th century. They are Trinidad's gift to the world. Bob Marley was one of the most important songwriters of all time. And his music is Jamaica's great gift to the world. This collection combines these two amazing sounds - the most important sounds of the Caribbean – with a beautiful result. 'Steel Drum Rub-a-Dub' pays great homage to the reggae legend, and to these miraculous instruments hand-made from oil barrels. Bob Marley wrote some of the most brilliant songs ever heard, and these sweet melodies haven't sounded so good since he sang them himself. Popular tracks on this album include 'Is This Love?,' 'Waiting In Vain' and 'Jamming.' The lesser-known songs are each masterpieces too. Overall, a fantastic roots reggae album. 'Steel Drum Rub-a-Dub' is destined to be a classic.
