The Success Of Burning Spear Albums

By Flora Vinson


Winston Rodney was one of the greatest reggae singers and musicians, as he made the Burning Spear albums. The songs from the collections are somber, but also religious, cultural and they can be sometimes heavy. Hard jazz is similar to the style of Rodney and because of this the average listeners may have issues with the music pieces. There are many fans of reggae genre.

Born in 1945 on the first of March, Winston Rodney is a Jamaican reggae singer. The artist is very popular because of his Rastafari movement and the messages spread. Bob Marley had a great influence on the musician, along with a political activist by the name of Marcus Garvey. The first meeting with Marley took place in 1969, when he introduced him in the music industry.

The fans like very much the following music collections: Man in The Hills, People of the World, Marcus Garvey, Garvey's Ghost, Free Man, Rasta Business, Slavery Days, etc. The artist recorded in studio, or live and compilations appeared later. An example of a classical compilation is the 100 Anniversary.

100 Anniversary is a compilation that includes Marcus Garvey and Garvey's Ghost. The collection is one of the strongest of classical pieces. There are regal horns in Marcus Garvey, African drums, jazzy flutes, a funky bass, jazzy guitars, etc. The compositions of Garvey's Ghost are even more powerful.

The number of dubs used in Garvey's Ghost is large and the collection has both: great music and wonderful chants. Man in the Hill resembles the other two classics and their magic returns. The sounds may be similar but the quality has slightly improved.

Each one of the burning spear albums can be great, as their content is rich in art pieces. The Rastafari movement messages and the high quality songs of the Jamaican Winston Rodney have a large audience. Rodney had an impressive career and he followed a legend: Bob Marley.
