REGGAE CD PICK OF THE WEEK - BURNING SPEAR

One of the good things about living in a college town is that the young people are pretty hip to reggae music. I guess it goes good with studying. HAHA! The other good thing is that college kids are typically strapped for cash so end up selling their cd's at the local cd store. So, this is where SAXOMAN swoops in and never fails to find some good deals on reggae music. Now this past weekend I came across this 2 CD set by Burning Spear titled "Burning Alive". After the initial listen it was clear that this would be my Reggae CD Pick of the Week. I have always been a fan of Burning Spears music and currently own 11 of his cd's. This live 2 cd set was recorded in 1997 and features a top notch band. Not hip to Burning Spear? Well shame on you! Anyway, here's a clip of Burning Spear from 1997. Check it out and hip up!

REGGAE CD PICK OF THE WEEK - BURNING SPEAR

Here's a long overdue reggae cd pick of the week. This weeks pick is the great Burning Spear with the cd titled 100th Anniversary. This cd contains two albums (Marcus Garvey and Garvey's Ghost). Released in 1975 these were the lp's that put Burning Spear on the map! What? You say you've never heard of Burning Spear? Oh my god! Well, as my mission statement says "my mission is to hip the un-hip" so check it out and get hip! Burning Spear is constantly touring and performing so go check him out! Me? Why of course I've seen him in concert. I am hip you know....
