Bob Marley and The Wailers: Kaya (1978)
"The album has a very relaxed, laid back sound, lacking much of the militant quality of the Wailers lyrically and musically. They received criticism for 'going soft' as a result of the general sound of the album as well as the theme: songs primarily revolving around love, as well as marijuana." [source]
Even Billy Bragg wrote love songs, though none about marijuana, as far as I can tell. By the way, I recently read that Kaya means marijuana.This is a solid record. I have an original Canadian pressing.
