Free Music Review: The Spear at his peak.
Hit: 5 Stars
In a career filled with many highs this album must rank as one of, if not his best. It represented a shift in musical direction from a highly charged roots sound to a more 'open' jazzy sound. However, this is Burning Spear and his rootsiness is not dimished, merely infused with other influences.
The feel by comparison to earlier works may in places be more subdued even mellow, but the extensive use of horns and a more sympathetic production employing a dubby, breezy approach brings a wonderful contrast to his powerful gravelly voice. Spears' commentary is typically focused on Marcus Garvey and issues of identity and social consciousness. His vision burns as bright as ever, the songs are strong and delivered with the passion you expect from Mr. Rodney. Consistent from start to finish. Right up there with his Studio One output, Marcus Garvey, Man In The Hills, Hail HIM and People Of The World.
Great to have the two extended versions added here. Not surprisingly, this album spawned a great dub version in Living Dub Volume 1.
Spear fans and reggae fans alike MUST own this, and to music fans in general I recommend you BUY THIS.
