Bob Marley

In 1975 Martha traveled to Jamaica to record her album "Escape From Babylon" with Bob Marley. Her producer Craig Leon had spoken to Marley about recording with Velez and after hearing her song "Living Outside The Law" from the "Hypnotized" album, Marley agreed to the project.
Bob Marley assembled his group The Wailers and long time friend and producer Lee "Scratch" Perry and the recording sessions began at Harry J's studio in Kingston, Jamaica. |
Martha's groundbreaking blues album “Fiends and Angels” recorded in 1969 with some of the most legendary English Rock musicians is still talked about today. Backing musicians included Eric Clapton, Stan Webb (Chicken Shack), and Paul Kossoff (Free) on guitar, Christine McVie (Fleetwood Mac) on keyboards, Jack Bruce on bass and Brian Auger on organ.
