Product Description

Review

"The main merit of this perceptive work is that, by not making Marley its focus, it gets closer to the truth about him than most other biographers... Colin Grant has composed a highly evocative and original account of a misunderstood group, and the misunderstood man at its core."
--"Literary Review"
" "
"Provides a lively introduction to the life and times of the Wailers and, incidentally, to the neo-African religions and animist cults of beautiful, bedevilled Jamaica."
--"Sunday Times"

4.0 out of 5 stars "I&I The Natural Mystics", 7 Mar 2011
This review is from: I & I: The Natural Mystics: Marley, Tosh and Wailer (Hardcover)
Colin Grant is the author of this nice story of the Wailers. He lingers over the childhood of Bob, Peter and Bunny and over their life in Trenchtown, that he considers fundamental for their psychological and human forming.

Colin doesn't pass judgements, is passionate but fair, he doesn't claim Bob is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, he's never been influenced by all the legends around Marley, his point of view is historical. He thinks that the Wailers were 3 modern revolutionaries, each one with a peculiarity: Peter more militant, Bob more inclined to international stardom, Bunny more mystic and introvert.

There are plenty of anecdotes and hidden details in the book, Colin guide us through the history of Jamaica and the Rastafarian Movement to explain how it was possible that 3 poor country boys becoming 3 superstars.

"I&I The Natural Mystics" is a very good book, well-documented. I think it's one of the first "secular" biography on Bob and the Wailers. A must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 22 Feb 2011
This review is from: I & I: The Natural Mystics: Marley, Tosh and Wailer (Hardcover)
Lots of books and studies on Bob Marley solely, and finally there is the book by the acknowledged historian who gives a full account of the original Wailers in the context of modern social and cultural history of Jamaica. Demystifying Jamaica and its Natural Mystics, fresh, original, colorful, deep, filling my bookshelf gaps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revelation, 18 Mar 2011
This review is from: I & I: The Natural Mystics: Marley, Tosh and Wailer (Hardcover)
I am not a biography reader but was drawn to this book by the subject. Colin Grant gives a fascinating account of the Wailers, told against the background of the Jamaican politics culture and economics that moulded them. It makes a riveting story and I shall certainly read his previous book, Negro in a Hat. Anyone interested in Bob Marley and the Wailers would find this book engrossing.
