.
(PR) B is for Bob, a collection of Bob Marley's most beloved songs re-imagined for kids, will be released June 23 by UMe/Island/Tuff Gong. The international musical legend's eldest son, four-time Grammy winner Ziggy Marley, executive produced the album, which bridges the gap between the timeless Bob Marley and a new generation of kids.

Bob Marley's music is known around the world for its powerful political and spiritual message that touches people of all ages. With children in mind, Ziggy has transformed some of his father's songs for B is for Bob. Eight tracks—"Three Little Birds," "Redemption Song," "Bend Down Low," "Jamming," "Small Axe," "Satisfy My Soul," "Stir It Up" and "High Tide or Low Tide"—remove certain instruments while adding other sounds creates a feeling of hearing these songs for the first time. Meanwhile, four of Bob Marley's other masterpieces are left untouched: "Could You Be Loved," "One Love/People Get Ready," "Lively Up Yourself" and "Wake Up and Live–Pt. 1."

"Me is a common sense man," Bob Marley once said. "That mean when me explain things me explain it in a very simple way, that mean if I explain it to a baby the baby will understand too, you know." Ziggy continues, "My father's music spans generations and with B is for Bob we give the youngest their very own Bob Marley record."

Released in time for summer, the album features fun extras for kids and parents: the CD unlocks bonus online digital content including coloring book pages, a sing-a-long music video and audio stream previews of Ziggy Marley's forthcoming Family Time album. Each CD also includes a free one-year subscription to Parents magazine. B is for Bob comes in a recyclable and biodegradable Eco-Pak, making the album kid-, parent- and Earth-friendly.

Ziggy's own record for kids, Family Time, was released May 5 by Tuff Gong Worldwide. Ziggy produced the album with legendary producer Don Was. The album features a variety of family and friends including Rita Marley (Ziggy's mother), Cedella Marley (sister), Judah Marley (daughter), Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Toots Hibbert, Elizabeth Mitchell, Laurie Berkner, Paula Fuga and Jamie Lee Curtis (who narrates two stories).
