Legalize It is the stunning solo debut by Peter Tosh, following his departure from the Wailers. Released in 1976, this seminal album showcases Tosh’s creative talents as he explores issues of spirituality. Legalize It remains a pivotal work in the history of reggae. It features the hits “Legalize It,” “No Sympathy,” “Why Must I Cry” and “Ketchy Shuby.” It features acclaimed musicians including Al Anderson, Rita Marley, Bunny Wailer and Judy Mowatt.
After years of being overshadowed by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh left the Wailers to pursue a solo career. Released in 1976, Legalize It is a bold statement that Peter Tosh had arrived and was a creative force in his own right. Although he explores some issues of spirituality, this is Tosh’s most lightweight album in the sense that it is his least political. This is not meant as a criticism — in fact, Tosh’s playfulness and joy (“Ketchy Shuby”) only add to the album’s charm. He does make political statements (the title track celebrates and promotes the use of marijuana), but they are done with a sense of humor and a melodic infectiousness that belie his sincere concern for the issues. Tosh incorporates many instruments and mixes slower ballads with upbeat grooving tunes. The album’s highlight is “Why Must I Cry,” a multi-layered song (co-written with Bob Marley) that conveys a sense of personal failure when fighting an uphill battle, whether it be against injustices of the world or within the confines of a relationship. Legalize It cemented Tosh’s position as a giant in reggae, and the album is one of the best albums of the genre. –AllMusic Review by Vik Iyengar

To listen to an interview with Peter Tosh during the late 1970s, one would think it was him-not Bob Marley-who took reggae music from Jamaica and brought it to the world in a form that everyone could embrace. In truth, it was neither of these two legendary Rastafarian musicians, but instead record producer and label owner Chris Blackwell.
