 Rating:  - still greatI bought this remastered cd and didnt know what to expect. The last time I had heard this album was back in the days of cassettes. It sounded weird at first hearing the same music 15 years later in cd quality. Weird good as in goose bumps on my arms, the remastered version is great. This is a great album made better. Rating:  - Pretty sweet...This album is great. However, if you don't have Marcus Garvey, Man In The Hills, or Dry & Heavy, get those albums first. They have a more accesible sound than this album. This album gets a little bit repetitive especially on "Follow Marcus Garvey" and "Jah Guh Raid." The album has a dark mood. It's not bad though. The best songs are "Columbus" and "Road Foggy." Definitely essential roots reggae, but not as good as the three albums mentioned previously. Rating:  - Hail This Record!This album is noticeable for the fact that it has Bob Marley's backing band, "The Wailers" laying down the grooves and beats for Winston Rodney (aka Burning Spear). The album features a terrific drawing by Neville Garrick depicting Haile Selassie in full imperial dress riding a white horse, with the sand dunes of Ethiopa as the backdrop. This album released in 1980, was never released in the United States until the Heartbeat CD of this album came out in 1994! Was the shunning of this album by America for fourteen years due to the fact that the record was no good? Here are my reviews of the songs based out of 5 *****: "Hail H.I.M." - Hail H.I.M. (His Imperial Majesty) starts with Winston shouting "Hail Jah Rastafari!" A very laid-back, ... Read More: Rating: - Reggae Masterpiece....In 1980, Winston Rodney, better known as the "Burning Spear", turned to The Wailers bass player Aston "Family Man" Barret to produce his first EMI album. Spear was seeking a major career breakthrouh in a period of rapidly changing tastes. The Roots Reggae had reached its climax in the mid seventies and by the end of the decade it seemed to deteriorate, giving place to other external musical influence and even some incipient prototypes of dance-hall style. "But people who are interested in our music will get to hear it. I can't beg" Burning Spear told once, in an environment where disco music prevailed in regular airplay and musical charts. The album is divided between hymns to JAH Rastafari, chants of repatriation to the mother land of Africa, ... Read More: Rating: - The Making of an International StarThe first of three albums Winston Rodney did for EMI and the one that springboarded him to international fame, if you were to buy only one Burning Spear album, this should be it! Be warned, however that this is some heavy, heavy roots! If you're looking for an album with nice, little reggae tunes to sing along with you will be dissapointed. But that doesn't mean this CD isn't for you. On the contrary, this is an incredable set for anyone who likes reggae music at all. And if you're looking to expand your Roots Reggae experience beyond Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, this is perfect. I got this CD because everywhere I turned I was always reading rave reviews on it. The 30 sec intros didn't do a thing for me but I took a chance and ... Read More: |
