	For his solo debut DRAGONFLY, Ziggy Marley casts his musical net further than his reggae roots and ends up with a collection of songs that sounds closer to Ben Harper than to Buju Banton. Enlisting the aid of Metallica producer Ross Hogarth and R.E.M. knob-twirler Scott Litt, Marley dabbles with Stax-flavored horns (a soulful "True to Myself"), neo-folk with Latin grooves (the bubbly title cut), and ethereal pop (the swirling "YKL [Don't You Kill Love]"). Aiding Marley in launching this solo venture are a number of famous names. Half of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, (Flea and John Frusciante) and Incubus DJ Chris Kilmore pop up on the punchy "Rainbow In the Sky," with the tattooed bassist returning on the somber "Melancholy Mood" and being joined by ex-Jellyfish keyboardist Roger Manning.
	Other notable musicians making the scene are six-string impresarios David Lindley and Blues Saraceno (the hard-rocking "I Get Out" and the anti-organized-religion diatribe "In the Name of God"), and omnipresent Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee. Celebrity contributions aside, Marley still manages to infuse a number of socially conscious messages throughout the album, culminating with "Shalom/Saalam," a sparse, whip-smart reggae cut addressing the need for Israeli/Palestinian peace.

Artist Overview

The eldest son of the most famed reggae performer in history, Ziggy scored the first U.S. top 40 hit for the Marley name in 1988's upbeat "Tomorrow People" off his third album, CONSCIOUS PARTY. Surrounded by a backing band of family members collectively known as the Melody Makers, Ziggy Marley carries on in Bob's tradition, composing and performing smooth, socially conscious roots reggae songs. A sought-after college performer, Marley kept his flame alive into the `00s on the well-received DRAGONFLY.
