Some months ago when Universal Music wanted to commission New Zeaand artists to interpret songs from Bob Marley’s catalogue, I was invited to write the proposal to be presented to the musicians.
The musicians responded quickly and a few weeks ago I was invited to listen to a collection of these interpretations and, if I liked what I heard, write a press release and the album’s liner notes.
I certainly did like what I heard and so here offer a kind of mash-up of the proposal, press release and the liner notes for Stir It Up; Aotearoa’s Tribute to Bob Marley.
