From his days as one of the original Wailers in the `60s until his violent death at the hands of thieves in 1987, Peter Tosh was one of Jamaican music`s most outspoken and controversial artists. Though his former partner Bob Marley never shied away from political or social statements himself, Tosh eschewed Marley`s gift for metaphor and parable in favor of such explicitly political slogans as the legendary "Legalize It."
BUSH DOCTOR, widely considered one of Tosh`s best solo albums, features the similarly plain-spoken title track, which became one of his signature songs, the seething "Dem Ha Fe Get A Beatin`," and the devotionally Rasta "Soon Come" and "Creation." Other tracks, like "Stand Firm" and "I`m The Toughest," are more general statements of defiance and self-determination but are no less powerful. The music is equally strong and relentless. BUSH DOCTOR is a roots-reggae masterpiece.
