Autographed Hit Me With Music - Roots, Rock, Reggae

Step into the heart of reggae’s revolution. In Hit Me With Music: Roots Rock Reggae, artist and musician Lee Jaffe takes readers behind the lens and into the world of Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer during the Wailers’ most explosive years — 1973 to 1975 — when the band’s sound, spirit, and message ignited a global movement. Through rare, intimate photographs and vivid, first-person storytelling, Jaffe paints a portrait of Jamaica in transformation — politically charged, culturally alive, and pulsing with rhythm. Living alongside Marley at 56 Hope Road, performing on stage, and producing music in the studio, Jaffe wasn’t just an observer — he was part of the heartbeat.

The book also captures the dawn of Peter Tosh’s solo legacy with the revolutionary Legalize It album and spotlights Jaffe’s collaborations with reggae icons including Joe Higgs, Wailing Souls, Barrington Levy, and Morgan Heritage. More than a collection of photos, Hit Me With Music is a love letter to the roots of reggae — a fusion of art, activism, and sound that changed music forever. Each page radiates the raw energy, soul, and defiance that made the Wailers legends and reggae a global language of freedom.

This stunning hardcover edition (224 pages, 9¾ x 11¾ inches) is a must-have for music lovers, cultural historians, and anyone who’s ever felt the power of a bassline in their bones. From Kingston to the world — this is the rhythm, the resistance, and the revolution of reggae.

These copies come directly from Lee Jaffe’s personal collection and each one is signed by the artist himself, making them an extraordinary collector’s treasure.
