Man in the Hills/Dry & Heavy

by: Burning Spear

Release Date June 03, 2003
I have "Marcus Garvey," "Hail H.I.M.," and this two-for-one cd. This one is my favorite. It has a brighter sound than Marcus Garvey and Hail H.I.M. and the songs are just beautiful. My favorites are "The Sun," "No More War," "Throw Down Your Arms," and "Door Peep." To be honest, there isn't a bad song on the entire cd!

Social Living

by: Burning Spear

Release Date June 03, 2003
Beautifully produced, with very strong grooves and melodic material- every song a stunner. Recorded mostly in 1980, with 2 extended versions from 1978. Familyman and Sly and Robbie share riddim section duties with other great session players. The dub version, Living Dub Vol 1, is absolutely recommended as well.

Marcus Garvey

by: Burning Spear

Release Date June 03, 2003
I have listened to this CD probably close to 1000 times. It is one of the only albums I have ever bought that is perfect at calming the nerves enough to accomplish ridiculous tasks like doing taxes. THIS CD HAS HEALING PROPERTIES. How many records can that be said about? This is close to a perfect record. I prefer it to Marley, Peter Tosh or any other of the 80s reggae icons.

Hail H.I.M.

by: Burning Spear

Release Date July 30, 2002
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.
