Bobby Ramone - ‘Is This Love Kills’

The album 'Rocket To Kingston' by Bobby Ramone appeared at my local record shop, My Music Taupo. Jace always finds these gems and gets them in by the carton, it seems. The album was originally released in 2021. It's a mashup album of the Ramones and Bob Marley - Yes, but not so much like the mashup genre of a decade or more ago. This is more of a blend of both artists. Anyway, it sounds as tacky as hell and it probably should be, but it actually works well. The novelty doesn't even wear off, although, in typical Ramones style, only one track passes the 3 minute mark (most are closer to the 2 minute mark). So, before you can say 1234, the next track starts. The mashup doesn't end with the music - the obvious one is the Bobby name - but the less obvious one is the cover photo... if you look a bit closer. The album was created by members of a French punk band 'Guerilla Asso'. It's like the Ramone's and Bob Marley are jammin' somewhere in the afterlife.
