Lyrics: Marijuana! I love it my brother.. Marijuana in my soul, Marijuana in my heart, oh oh.. I love to smoke marijuana, It give me a deep meditation. I love to draw marijuana, It give me a deep meditation. It keep the natty dreadlocks jumping! It keep the natty dreadlocks rocking! It keep the natty dreadlocks swinging! The white man love to smoke marijuana, The black man love to cultivate it. I love to smoke marijuana, It give me a deep meditation. Marijuana! I love it to my heart and soul: So I can't stop smoking it. I love to draw marijuana. It keep my natty dreadlocks jumping! It keep the natty dreadlocks rocking! It give me a deep meditation, Marijuana! Oh, oh I love it. I love to draw marijuana, It give me a deep meditation, I love to smoke marijuana, It give me a deep meditation. It keep the natty dreadlocks jumping! It keep the natty dreadlocks rocking! It keep the natty dreadlocks swinging! The white man love to smoke marijuana, The black man love to cultivate it. Marijuana! Oh I love it, I love it, I love it! I love it to my heart and soul, So I couldn't stop, smoking it, I love it to my heart and soul. The white man love to smoke marijuana, The black man love to cultivate it. It give me a deep meditation. It keep the natty dreadlocks jumping! It keep the natty dreadlocks rocking! I love to smoke Marijuana, marijuana! I love you to my heart and soul, So I couldn't stop, drawing it. I love you to my..

released June 6, 2019

During the late seventies Jamaican music was experiencing what many consider to be its last golden age. King Tubby was in full swing. Vhannel One's Revolutionaries were at their peak and talented producers such as Linval Thompson were taking full advantage of the availability of such considerable talent.

Linval, who had made his recording debut as a singer for Bunnie Lee earlier in the decade was by this time widely regarded as one of Jamaica's finest all-round talents and his massive hit, 'I Love Marijuana' (along with the album that followed) helped maintain his reputation.

In the years tha have followed, Linval has continued to make great music, although the days when he could call upon the musical contribution of both the great King Tubby and groups such as the Revolutionaries have sadly long since passed. So until the dawning of the next great age in Jamaican music let this album be a reminder of its glorious past.
