Consider me "mind-blown"! I always heard things about this Blackwell chap.,..all bad. Thanks Al for the inside back story.. also for your great blues guitar. I stayed up many nights working out your leads on the Natty Dread album, especially on Lively Up Yourself.💚🎸
Al Andersons thanks for the interview,it has illuminated my mind and made me to know more deeply of really what took place before and after Bob's death. Thank you for sharing more night among the barrett brothers. May the soul of Bob and calton rest in peace. Alderson I whole heartedly wish you all the best.
This is keeping it real. Sad but that's the reality. Thanks Al for bringing some of the dark but real sides of the life after Bob. Bob was definitely an extremely strong personality to keep all these personalities together.
It happens in literary every band you have heard of. The Bob Marley side of money was a mess really. A great songwriter of note, but the genesis of the problem is the contract Bob signed with Blackwell. Would you believe, Bob was deemed to be a worker-for-hire to Blackwell. I believe also that Bob was late in re-organizing his publishing, and the actual drafting of contracts with his band. Sure when he was alive, it was 50-50, but....He could not repair his relationship with Peter Tosh... There are songs which many believe are mis-credited. songs which where attributed to Bob, to the exclusion of co-writers. It happens. Why? great musicians are always surrounded by a coterie of people at all times, and when a good idea hits, there are some musicians who contribute to make it whole. Take for instance the song Redemption songs. Many wailer members will testify that Wya Lindo had a big hand in crafting that song. Same goes for Could You Be Loved. Jacob Miller was a part of that creation. .... I like this interview. Al had to make it. Cathartic. It has helped him to Heal. 1love
Al Anderson a legendary musician. Had the honor of meeting him and seeing The Original Wailers perform a couple of years back. I believe everything he said was the truth. Chris Whiteworse is just that the worst. These musicians created the sound for Bob's music to penetrate the world. They are geniuses and should have been properly compensated.
Thank you al for continuing bobs music,you kept your promise to him, no doubt he'd be so proud of you. Original wailer indeed. I met you back in the late 90s in dublin ireland playing with the wailers fantastic gig, Really hope yous get what's deserved to yous from the blackwell/island record company but hey in my eyes you've won as the truth prevails thank you for sharing the truth al great respect for you. Merry xmas 2018 from Melbourne Australia.
What more could I say than what Hans Muller already said? Nothing but great thanks for Al Anderson for telling the truth. So...thank you Al Anderson!! Bunny Wailer tried to tell the whole story as it was but because of Chris Whiteworse nobody believed him. Just think that Blackwell still owes him the royalties of the Blackheart man album!! Damn the rich ppl!! Anyway, thank you Al Anderson..you're a great musician on your own right. Bless you!! Respect!!
thank u, the kora is a musical instrument found mostly in westafrican region of senegal its capital called Dakar also found in Mali ,Guinea, gambia .The Kora is twentyone string instrument.its usually play by Griots in ceremonies.But today the kora is played by stars like Mori Kantehand and others.
This is I guess the price paid for being part of the phenomenon. The bits we never see or hear about. Doesn't make it right though. What an interesting guy. I hope he has found some comfort and warmth (love) since this interview was done.
What a sad story al Anderson. No one to be blame but the marley family Rita very greedy. Because of these people and that's why the rita family are what they are today
Al Anderson your heart is good,so sorry to hear the pain described by you about the wailers band,the Marley family,and Chris Blackwell and of Bob,jah bless u brother, and I would love to meet u.thanku.😺
Yeah Mon. Nuff Respect to you Al. It feels good to hear your side of the story. I never realized that Chris Blackwell was a Hollywood agent working for the Elites. Wow. Chris Blackwell was good friends with prince Williams. This says it all.
Al let me help you here the instrument you mentioned here is called the KORA The kora has 21 strings made from cow skin and a calabash tree.This instruments is original from the manding empire played by the griots in mandinka tribe mainly mali ,Gambia, guinea conakry, guinea bissau. The kora instrument not from Senegal
I haven't herd anyone who can sound like bob Marley singing, even his son's only sound half like him, but they should of totally put Ziggy in place of Bob and in time add the other son's , and call the group Marley's and the wailers,
Naw everything happened the way it was supposed to… ziggy had big shoes to fill and did a good job carving his own lane… but he’s not bob… now if the remaining wailers would have joined the melody makers under the name of melody makers would have been great to see
My God,what a story ,Chris Blackwell and Rita are demons,tbe bible said we are to shun the very appearance of evil ,Al you will get your reward from God, i am hurt and its not me, how those two sleep in their beds at nights,be smart Al you are sitting on a gold mine,i wish i knew how to get intouch with you,keep tbe faith you will make it,while tbere is hope,nothing won is lost.
I believe a lot of things that you're saying, but on the subject of Cris Blackwell, you have to be honest, there would be no Bob Marley & The Wailers if it wasn't for that man, it was driven by money is not in debate, but the chris successfully put Bob Marley where he is today, so that has to be respected none of you I would've got anywhere without Cris. Please respect that and that's the truth.
Omg, he actually drank some of the beer, this is a great interview, bob marley and the waliers is the greatest band there ever was in terms of being playing as a band and their mission, the songs were designed to make awareness of evil and spiritual wickeness in high and low places, as well as a protest against injustice , a comfort to the oppressed and athems of jamaica and rastafari, where other big super groups and singer song writers work is about fiction , made up stories that empower the ego of the singers and ego of the musicians, the wailers were never up themselves like so many other big groups, rollingstones , rap artists etc, rollingstones and mic Jagger, a very tallented group of musicians who's egos are rediculous,, expecially mic, his lips on the covers and shit ,, his but,, does he use his lips and his but to make notes???? ,
This is devastating to listen to - they do this to my family in NYC - it's business violation and they don't care. start a website Black Dollars Matter and demand that Chris Maxwell give The Wailers back their money.
All of them suppose to be rich but according to this guy story I don't think bob Marley is paying them because he is talking about I sleep this house this person feed me means he don't have money just a fame...

Good man, straight and honest.
I'd rather hear Al tell these truths than watch the Movie that's out
You know what, I agree with you 100% I think that they need to have a Netflix series for the Bob Marley movie so we can get the whole essence of Bob.
Thank you al for continuing bobs music,you kept your promise to him, no doubt he'd be so proud of you. Original wailer indeed.

If there is a judgment day after death, alla dem without exceptions (Bob included) shall face themselves.
You too
Wow! Amazing! Al, you served us with so nice music. Unfortunately, there will always be slave drivers in any sector of life.
16:15. Maybe al had a few nice Puff's and that warmed his soul up to be talking so clear and fresh and enthusiastic
