John Morrison’s Culture Corner with host Raina Douris

You might think of Bob Marley’s music as relaxing…something you reach for when you want to chill out. But in 1976 during the making of his internationally beloved album Exodus, Marley’s life was NOT very relaxing at all. On the World Cafe, Culture Corner correspondent John Morrison tells the story of Exodus – where it came from, what makes it so special, and what it still means today 45 years after its release.
