Ziggy Marley

Ziggy Marley has drafted his siblings, daughter and some superstars to assist on his first children's album, "Family Time," due May 5 from Tuff Gong.

Produced by Don Was, the project finds Marley surrounded by his mother Rita, sister Cedella and daughter Judah, as well as Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Toots Hibberts, Elizabeth Mitchell and Laurie Berkner. In addition, Jamie Lee Curtis narrates two stories.

Marley has previously appeared on such children's shows as "Dora the Explorer" and "Arthur," and also voiced a Jamaican jellyfish in the animated film "Shark Tale."

Marley just wrapped a short tour of Australia and New Zealand.
