"Ohhh this CD is so great! It just feels like Burning Spear completely achieves what almost everyone else making reggae music tries to but can't. Every song on this cd is so so solid -- mystically, rhythmically...definitely get this CD. Right away."

Burning Spear is back

"Burning Spear kind of lost it for me during the middle of his career (after the Live in Paris double album), but this is a great return to some honest, driving, roots reggae. Fantastic use of horns, as always, deep resonant harmonies, catchy chorus lines... Nobody does it like this. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5: well, there's only so much you can do with that sound. I can't seem to get tired of that sound, but others might be satisfied with the older albums."

What a great disc

"As a person who is just beginning to explore raggae music I am extremely impressed with this cd. Knowing that Burning Spear is one of the original rasta's really makes me appreciate and love this cd more because it's truly inspiring to see somebody who has given their entire life to music. I would recommend this to both experienced and novice raggae fans."
