Hailed by the New York Times as a crucial voice in the narration of Marley’s life, reggae historian Roger Steffens spent years traveling with the Wailers and taking iconic Marley photographs. Now, drawing on four decades of intimate interviews with band members, family, lovers, and confidants-many speaking publicly for the first time-Steffens crafts a riveting oral history depicted through vivid scenes: the future star auditioning for Coxson Dodd, the violent confrontation between the Wailers and producer Lee Perry, the attempted assassination (and conspiracy theories that followed), triumphant live performances around the world, and the artist’s tragic death from cancer at age thirty-six. So Much Things to Say tells Marley’s story like never before-what emerges is a legendary figure who feels a bit more human (The New Yorker).
