Yabba You

"Must admit i've never been much of a Burning Spear fan before. I don't care for the jam band stuff they play now or the genre as a whole. That said these two records are nothing like the later jam band stuff. This cd holds its own with other roots reggae from the same era. It has a good sound somewhat militant, not as much as Tosh, not as catchy as other records from this time frame. But a solid effort that won't dissapoint."
