Marley's Ghost( Marley's Ghost (band) )【 53 songs in total 】
Marley's Ghost is a band based in Northern California which has existed since the mid-1980s and has recorded 12 albums. While their music has a strong bluegrass emphasis, their musical style is diverse. Paste magazine has described them as 'a decidedly unusual band, as capable of reanimating Appalachian folk songs as they are traditional Celtic fare, honky tonk and reggae.'
