Full performer name: Bob Marley/Gregory Isaacs/Dillinger. 3 LIONS is a unique three-disc representative sampling of the creative output of three of Jamiaca's most popular and compelling reggae stars. Of the three, Marley is, of course, the most widely known. The first disc concentrates on his late '60s and early '70s material. The raw rhythms and immediately appealing melodic hooks of Marley's tunes--many of which, like "No Water" and "My Cup," are heavily influenced by American R&B--are made even sweeter by the musical atmospheres of the Wailers, the Upsetters, and producer Lee Perry. The third disc showcases '70s singer Dillinger, whose fiery, chant-like delivery and drug-related themes gave him a couple of hits with "Cocaine In My Brain" and its follow-up, "Marijuana In My Brain." The surprise of the set is disc two, on which maverick rude-boy Issacs delivers a mix of heartfelt love songs and songs colored by social themes. His vocal style is cool and leisurely but is still touched by passion and intensity. Songs such as "My Number One" and "Lonely Days" are beautifully constructed and soulful, and the whole record is heightened by fine production. Taken together, the material on 3 LIONS provides a distinctive profile of this reggae music triumvirate.
