The title of the album is a natural reference to the rasta mats, but also to the dangerous side of the singer. For this first solo album (the first hit single name of Bob Marley), our man appears on the cover painted by Tony Wright in guerrilla haunting the nights of the good society. The inescapable No Woman No Cry set apart, has a content reminiscent of a collection of worrior songs interpreted against a backdrop of blues and Urban swing. A masterpiece!
