Burning Spear Essentials

Burning Spear Essentials

One of roots reggae's most captivating singers, Winston "Burning Spear" Rodney has been preaching a Rasta message of peace and unity since the early '70s. Initially a band, Burning Spear recorded a string of classic albums that mixed thundering grooves with blazing horns, but it was Rodney's haunting voice and fiery political lyrics that truly set them apart. Though the band dissolved in '76, their prolific frontman continues to record under the name, and over the decades he's achieved massive international success, using the power of classic reggae to fight for social justice.
