More Family Time is an album by Jamaican musician Ziggy Marley, released in 2020 and featuring numerous special guests including Alanis Morissette,[1] Busta Rhymes, Sheryl Crow,[1] Lisa Loeb, Tom Morello,[2] and Ben Harper.[3]
A portion of the proceeds from More Family Time will be given to Marley's 501(c)3 URGE.[1] [2]
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Marley found himself preoccupied with family issues and homelife which led to writing a follow-up to his 2009 children's album Family Time.[4] Marley recorded the album in his home studio and then reached out to friends to add to the tracks.[4]
The album featured Marley's family[2] and was inspired by many of their activities.[5]
One song, "My Dog Romero", is about the family dog, a lagotto Romagnolo,[6] adopted shortly before the pandemic began.[4]
All songs written and produced by Ziggy Marley, except where noted.
Rolling Stone gave the album 3/5 stars and called it "an ideal time filler for parents looking for something/anything to put on the stereo and get your kids shaking out the sillies between bouts of remote learning."[7]
