Sobre el álbum

Con Catch A Fire, Bob Marley & The Wailers encienden la mecha de su conquista internacional. Este fue su primer álbum para Island Records y el productor Chris Blackwell lo pulió cuidadosamente para atraer a la audiencia del rock. De hecho, añadió solos de guitarra y teclados sobre las grabaciones originales de Jamaica, una decisión que hizo que el sonido del reggae fuera más accesible para los oídos occidentales. Sin embargo, esta producción no diluyó la fuerza del mensaje.

Canciones como "Slave Driver" y "400 Years" conservan toda su potencia lírica y su carga política. El álbum funciona como una introducción perfecta al reggae, combinando ritmos hipnóticos con una musicalidad sofisticada y un contenido profundo. 'Catch A Fire' no solo lanzó a Marley al estrellato, sino que también puso el reggae en el mapa mundial.

  4. Stop That Train3:55

    Letra

    Stop that train: I'm leavin' - today! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - anyway! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. All my good life I've been a lonely man, Teachin' my people who don't understand; And even though I tried my best, I still can't find no happiness. So I got to say: Stop that train: I'm leavin' - oh, baby now! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - don't care what you say! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; Said, it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. Some goin' east; and-a some goin' west, Some stand aside to try their best. Some livin' big, but the most is livin' small:: They just can't even find no food at all. I mean, stop it: Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin', mm-hmm. Stop that train: I'm leavin' - I don't mind! Stop that train: I'm leavin'. And I said: It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong. Stop that train: I'm leavin' - leavin'! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - can't take it! Stop that train: I'm leavin' - got to be better! It won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong; I said it won't be too long whether I'm right or wrong.
