Industry Reviews

"Saxophonist/songwriter/producer DaCosta, as a member of Zap Pow and of Bob Marley and the Wailers, is legendary in the reggae genre. His memoir, told with the help of Dave Peters, is also the story of modern Jamaican music from ska to the popularity of reggae in the '70s. ... The book is filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes about Bob Marley and the Wailers and the world of Rasta. Liberally illustrated with photographs, this book is an intimate account of DaCosta's life, and it centers the birth and popularity of reggae music. ... Of particular interest to reggae fans; a good addition to large music collections."-Library Journal
