"Soul Shakedown Party" - Bob Marley - Song of the Week #7

"Soul Shakedown Party"

This tune is a grand mix of melody, harmony, and rhythm. With the reggae vibe setting the backbeat, an organ sounding chordal riff, a sweet on and off melody, and tight harmonies filling out the sound, how can you not jam out to this tune. I enjoy this listen because it not only gets you bouncing to the beat, but also provides an intricate combination of musical elements that thoroughly engages the senses. You're sure to be able to pick out something new each time you listen. Although the lyrics supply a sexual undertone, it doesn't feel like an inappropriate calling, rather an invitation to blend vibrations. Some think of the reggae style as just a plethora of songs that sound similar, meant entirely for loosening up and relaxation, but this song proves there's much more to the genre. It really shows the musical artistry that is reggae music. Add this to your playlist for your next summer get-together, and watch your guests delight in the sublime sounds!


Happy Listening
