Burning Spear

I and I Survive is a good tune. I like Burning Spear! Just getting into reggae and it's some cool stuff, it's true that you can't stay unhappy listening to it!

 

Burning Spear are simply awesome... I recently burned an MP3 CD with like 120 songs on it, and about 40 Burning Spear songs... good stuff

 

Yea i have Marcus Gravy too, great album.

Yea Check out the Skatalites, they were a studio band for people like Bob Marley before he was in the Wailers, with Bunny Wailer(he used to play music under the name Dandy Livingston, check out some of that shit) and Peter Tosh(macintosh)

Also check out Desmond Dekker and the Aces
Harry J Allstars
Jimmy Cliff

if you like those tell me i know plenty of reggae thatll make you splooge like a whale.

 

check out spearhead, a political reggae/rock/funk/soul band out of san francisco and a world band. their music is outrageous and the lead singer is a modern day bob marley, infact he's good friends with the marley sons, his name is michael franti. here is the website for spearhead called www.stayhuman.org

 

soaringeagle, I agree, eekamouse is a little too weird for me. You guys ever heard Gentleman? He's from Germany, moved to Jamaica and turned reggae artist. Check out his website http://www.journeytojah.com 'Journey to Jah' is my favorite of his albums but his new album, Confidence, is pretty good too. Barrington Levy 'Original Raggamuffin Part One', Aswad - 'Showcase', Black Uhuru - 'Unification' and 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner', and U Brown 'Rougher than the Rest' are some other albums that are definitely worth picking up if you're into reggae.

 

At reggae sundance last year i was completely get out of my mind on Burning Spear! Great reggae!

 

I am proud of you. You show very good taste in loving the music of Burning Spear. He is one of my favorites. He has been singing for decades and has alot of material. I love the 100th anniversary edition of Marcus Garvey album that comes with the "versions". I also love the album called "Hail H.I.M." which is a masterpiece. Good stuff. He is called the ambassador of reggae. Winston Rodney is his real name. I have alot of his music.

I would like to suggest Garnett Silk, Sugar Minott and Dennis Brown. Gregory Isaacs is good also.

 

don't forget toots and the maytals, john holt, lucky dube (RIP), luciano, capleton, dub is a weapon, michael rose, augustus pablo, ken boothe, the abyssinians, the lone ranger...the list goes on and on. i absolutely love burning spear's living dub volume one. he has a sweet website at burningspear.biz....it has a web radio too. while yer surf'n come check out my webstation at jango...it's called jah's jukebox http://www.jango.com/?r=56610919

love and light family!

 

yo that burning spear version of estimated prophet on jah kingdom cd is really good - its off da chain

 

Has anyone suggested Steel Pulse yet? Handsworth Revolution is one of my favourite reggae albums.

 

i absolutely love love love steel pulse's tribute to the martyrs album.

 

creation rebel is my favorite burning spear album - these recordings are roots from studio one

 

i like the studio one stuff best

burning spear and rocking time

except for marcus garvey and garvey's ghost

which actually ARE the best

but i still like the others better
