Toots and The Maytals release "Three Little Birds (ft. Ziggy Marley)"
Legendary Jamaican act Toots and The Maytals has released a cover version of the Bob Marley classic, "Three Little Birds," that now features Bob's eldest son Ziggy Marley contributing guest vocals.
The new, decidedly uptempo take on the beloved reggae standard was produced by frontman Frederick "Toots" Hibbert, with co-production coming from his Kingston-based Reggae Center studio cohort Nigel Burrell (Anthony B, I-Wayne, Sizzla), UK-based Youth (Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Primal Scream), Trojan Jamaica label co-chief Zak Starkey, and additional production work from label co-chief Sharna "Sshh" Liguz. The reimagining of "Three Little Birds" also features percussion from The Beatles' former drummer Ringo Starr, plus Zak Starkey on guitar, and Sly Dunbar (of prolific Jamaican production duo Sly & Robbie) on drums.
“Three Little Birds (ft. Ziggy Marley)" debuted on Ebro Darden’s Beats 1 show on Apple Music, and is the third track to be released from Toots and The Maytals' highly-anticipated forthcoming studio album Got To Be Tough out via Trojan Jamaica/BMG on August 28. Pre-order/save HERE.
