	In his consistently excellent musical output, and his unflagging political and spiritual concerns, Burning Spear (a.k.a. Winston Rodney) is one of reggae's definitive roots artists. While his landmark release MARCUS GARVEY, released in 1975, is the best place to start, this superb twofer, which combines 1976's MAN IN THE HILLS with 1977's DRY AND HEAVY on one disc, is a fine second choice.
	Rodney's '70s albums are arguably his best: with their stripped down aesthetic and musical backing from consummate session players Sly and Robbie. Both records uphold the standard of the era; although many of the lyrics on MAN IN THE HILLS take an unusual autobiographical turn when Rodney sings of his upbringing in Jamaica, there are plenty of conscious messages, and the rhythms bubble and percolate. DRY & HEAVY features remakes of several songs from Rodney's Studio One days, which improve on the originals in both execution and production. Both albums are strong examples of '70s roots reggae at its best.
Producer: Winston Rodney; Lawrence "Jack Ruby" Lindo
Engineer: Sylvan Morris

Artist Overview

Burning Spear (born Winston Rodney) was originally a protege of his neighbor Bob Marley, but even his earliest music exhibited his characteristically unique and intense style. His lyrical concerns--black culture and history, a hybrid form of Pan-Africanism, Garveyism and Rasta tenets, and (especially) universal love--have been consistently and powerfully expressed throughout his lengthy recording career. Perhaps most memorable is his 1975 breakthrough masterpiece, MARCUS GARVEY, where he emerged as one of the most distinctive and original talents in the history of reggae.
