Burning Spear

A polished, shimmering evolution of roots reggae. Stately brass and hypnotic chanting meet 90s studio clarity for a meditative, sun-drenched experience.

Moments Worth Listening For
The nearly seven-minute sprawl of the Grateful Dead cover where the bassline transforms a psychedelic rock staple into a heavy roots meditation.
The way the horns punctuate the repetitive vocal hook in 'Call On Jah', creating a call-and-response between man and brass.
The subtle introduction of 90s-era synthesizers that add a shimmering, modern gloss to the traditional Burning Band rhythm section.
