The classic Marley album, the one that any fair-weather eggae fan owns, Legend contains 14 of his greatest songs, running the gamut from "I Shot the Sheriff" to the meditative "Redemption Song" and the irrepressible "Three Little Birds."

And it does that remarkably well, offering all of his genre-defying greats and an illustration of his excellence, warmth, and humanity. In a way, it is perfect since it gives a doubter or casual fan anything they could want. Let's face it, the beauty and simplicity of Marley's music was as important as his message, and that's captured particularly well here.

I'm so out of touch with anything reggae, but I find Bob Marley incredibly gratifying (yes, I know I'm about 30 years late to this realization). Buffalo Soldier just came up at 11 p.m. Thursday on a shuffle across all the thousands of songs in my iTunes library, and it was amazingly wonderful.
