Bush Doctor is Peter Tosh at some of his sticky, heavy, militant best. He's not one for metaphor, rather, for instance saying right out that, "He haffa get a beatin'". It's never been clearly explained to me just why Tosh and Marley split. Maybe when Marley was singing about "Three Little Birds" and "...in Vain for you Love" in England, Tosh was back in Jamaica sticking to his guns, litteraly and artistically.

This was Peter Tosh's first album off Rolling Stones records. Although it contains 4 recuts from older Wailers tunes (Don't Look Back, I'm The Toughest, Soon Come, Dem Ha Fe Get A Beatin') Tosh gives a new sound to them all. The famous duet with Mick Jagger kicks off the CD being the biggest hit on the album. Every song following it is a wonderfull additiion to the Tosh repretoir. The title track Bush Doctor is a great Ganja anthem. And the beautifull Creation ties up the whole package. This album continues Tosh's militant trend he established through his first 2 albums which is the reaon many prefer him to Marley. This is a brilliant I recomend this to any reggae fan.
