NEW YORK — Ziggy Marley wants to get in touch with the future leaders of our nation: That’s why his latest release is a children’s CD.

Family Time, released last month, is a reggae-flavored kids album that Marley hopes will connect with those he says can best evoke change.

The disc features vocals from three generations of Marleys: Ziggy’s 3-year-old daughter, Judah; his mother (and Bob Marley’s widow) Rita; and sister Cedella.

Outside of the Marley household, the album also has guest appearances from Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson and Jamie Lee Curtis.
