So there are a few great covers of "I Shall Be Released." These are my favorites and I like them all for different reasons. A good song is a good song.

Dennis Brown
I learned of Dennis Brown from NPR's 50 Great Voices. I recommend you check out that link and the other voices in the series. I'm a late comer to Reggae music and as great as Bob Marley was I have to go with Dennis Brown. He recorded dozens of albums over 30 or so years. He was first in the studio at age eleven. It makes me wonder what I was doing age eleven. Oh i remember now, nothing of any importance. Meanwhile this this guy recorded 75 albums. I struggle to maybe write an albums worth of material over a year. Thats true dedication. I'm hoping I can make the same kind of effort in my area of studies. I'll leave you with one of his better known hits "Money in My Pocket." I'd recommend picking up his compilation.
