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,[2] Sheryl Crow,[1] Lisa Loeb,[3] Tom Morello,[4] and Ben Harper.[5]

A portion of the proceeds from More Family Time will be given to Marley's 501(c)3 URGE.[1][4]

Production

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.[2] Marley recorded the album in his home studio and then reached out to friends to add to the tracks.[2]

The album featured Marley's family[4] and was inspired by many of their activities.[3]

We kind of adapted our lifestyle; we started doing things as a family we wouldn’t normally have done if the kids were in school," he explains. "We made up our own camp games, and did stuff outside, and everything we did at that time, outside of making that album, was part of the creative process.[3]

One song, "My Dog Romero", is about the family dog, a lagotto Romagnolo,[6] adopted shortly before the pandemic began.[2]
