After watching I Am Legend last night, and its heavily Bob Marley influenced soundtrack I was reminded about a Bob Marley cover I'd heard on Radio 4 a little while ago.

A few minutes on The Hype Machine and I managed to find it.

Two sadly lost legends of modern music cover arguably Bob Marley's (and regae music in general's) finest moment.

The legend goes that when asked "Don't you thinka rastafarian line such as 'Oh pirates, yes they rob I' is a little odd to be sung by a white man?" Johnny Cash replied with "And you suggest I change the line? I can't change that! Bob Marley wrote that!"

You can buy Bob Marley CD's here.

With the tag line "Find music you never knew you liked" The Hype Machine is music that people are talking about. Listen, discover and buy songs that are being blogged by passionate music fans all over the world.

An excellent source of all sorts of music you've never heard before, and if you use the search facility plenty you have!

The other great feature is the ability to subscribe to a feed for a certain category, like indie or mashup etc, so you effectively get a radio station in a podcast!

Those of you who read Westway or other various music blogs will already know about this, but I finally got round to having a proper listen to that Radio De Outono tune, and I love it! It gets better and better the more I listen to it! Funky summery indie-pop from Brazil!
