An Amazing Time Kenneth Jarecke In a time before publicist and stylists, when light was natural and images found (rather than created), photojournalist David Burnett captured moments that define a musical legend. Doubtful these images could be made today of the latest pop wunderkind, let alone someone of the stature of Bob Marley.My daughter came home with a t-shirt of the man, then wanted to know who this Bob Marley was (kids today, right?) this is the book I gave her.Classic photojournal. Many of he photos are beautiful portraits, verging on haunting John S. Varner Many of he photos are beautiful portraits, verging on haunting, of Marley at the peak of his powers. It is a bit unfortunate that this work is so narrowly focused on a specific tour. Marley's life and untimely death are truly the stuff of legend. Soul Rebel is a brilliant glimpse of a sliver of Marley's too-short life.. "Wonderful book by one of the best photographers" according to Ben Iliili. Wonderful book by one of the best photographers. Great portraits and documentary photos of life during the most interesting time of reggae music.
Now you can experience over 200 of them. Burnett, an exceptional artist himself, allows us to travel through Marley’s eyes, right into his deepest essence. Each absorbing photograph offers new insights into the soul of this timeless musician/activist. Only a few of Burnett’s magnificent pictures saw the light of day. We can appreciate fully the intensity, caring, power and rebelliousness of this musical force.”Pop Culture Classics. One of the truly great photojournalists, Burnett has captured unforgettable imageshe visited Marley at his Jamaican home and then amassed more shots of the reggae king on the Marley and Wailers’ Exodus” Euro
