Steppin' Razor, The Life of Peter Tosh
May 16, 2018
This is a brilliantly researched and written in-depth biography of the 'bush doctor' reggae superstar - Peter Tosh. I first discovered Tosh's music back in 2006, after going through a terrible year in 2005, at a time when I was just starting to find a new direction in my life.
Many reggae fans, including myself, start off listening to Bob Marley's records and only later, if they are still interested, graduate towards the music of Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer. There are many other great reggae groups though such as Black Uhuru, who are mentioned in this book, The Abyssinians, and the great Burning Spear himself, among many others.
However, out of all of these musicians and songwriters, I hold Tosh's music on a special pedestal because there is something special about it, and something sharp, which comes as no surprise since one of his songs was called 'Steppin' Razor', a song written by Joe Higgs, but made famous by Tosh.The very first biography of Peter Tosh, rude boy, founder member of The Wailers and a compelling recording artist in his own right.
One of reggae's most extraordiinary stories, the life of Peter Tosh came to an end when he was brutally murdered in 1987. This is a brilliantly researched and written in-depth biography of the 'bush doctor' reggae superstar - Peter Tosh.
