It is dificult to cover a **Bob Marley** song correctly. But this is gorgeous.
Xavier Rudd is an Australian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was born in 1978 and grew up in Torquay, Victoria. He has developed a strong reputation for playing live performances at musical festivals and concerts in Australia and in North America. His following is particularly strong in Australia and in Canada, where he has recorded several albums. Many of Rudd's songs incorporate socially conscious themes, such as environmentalism and the rights of Aborigines. In addition to playing the didgeridoo in many of his songs, he has also included both Australian and Canadian Aboriginal vocals in some of his songs.

It's probably more accurate to say that it's dificult for a non-Jamaican to do a good cover of a Bob Marley song, but in general you're right.
This young chap certainly does a decent job of making something new from a very familiar tune.
That was nice.
Sweet cover of an already lovely song.
I prefer this to Bob's version. By a lot.
very nice, DM
I love Xavier Rudd, he has a fantastic guitar style - his own stuff is better than his covers. I think I prefer this to marley's version as well.
