'Uplifting But Powerful Reggae For All' - By: Antony May, 13 Nov 2007 
Peter Tosh's greatest skill was his ability to write uplifting, happy & catchy reggae music yet at the same time marry such arrangements with pretty powerful lyrics. Never on 'Bush Doctor' do you feel you are being 'ranted at' or complained to (unlike so many other more actively aggressive artists), but Tosh pulls no punches either. Peter Tosh simply presents his views to youin a palatable & accessible wayin order to get his message across. While a lot of the tracks on this album are of similar pace, lots of nice saxophone, harmonica, guitar, bass or flute touches along with great female backing vocals & harmonies keep the album from sounding repetitious. Best track of all is the very unusual, sound effects riddled, acoustic strummed 'Creation' which can really take you off to a beautiful island shore! Mick Jagger turns up on the minor hit single from the album (You Gotta Walk) Don't Look Back & surprisingly the unusual partnership works very well. Tracks 10 to 15 are extra tracks not on the original album & are mainly made up of extended or different versions but final track 'Tough Rock, Soft Stones' is worthy of note for collectors as it is a previously unreleased song. Truly the classic that Amazon describe it as.
Loving, Passionate, Relaxing, Thought Provoking... - By: Dom, 07 Jul 2004 If you are a fan of Bob Marley or like any of his music, then this CD is for you. I have been a Bob Marley fan for years but have never really strayed too far into other similar artists until I was introduced to this album. It is relaxing, peaceful, happy & very harmonious. Make sure the next nostalgic reggae album on your list is this one, Pete Tosh is simply superb - PEACE & LOVE!
