Customer Reviews
Wailers sophomore album
This 1973 follow up to the Wailers debut 'Catch A Fire' is mainly a collection of updated singles that had been doing the rounds on the Jamaican underground scene for years. 'Get Up, Stand Up' and 'I Shot The Sheriff' are two of the most hitting cuts the Wailers ever recorded, but the rest of the material doesn't have the same mass appeal of their other albums. This is more an album for hardcore fans of reggae than the general audience. It's a cool set but 'Burnin' isn't an album I can bump too much.
Stir It Up!
I would hesitate with those who would venture, I shot the sherrif is Marley's most commercial crossover song; Stir it up, is quite well known as well.
Get Up Stand Up, Classic Peter Tosh; widely played, even if not a pop hit;
This whole album, I give a b grade, it is better than 4 stars; not absolutely 5.
The Rasta Man chant, is a truly unique song, spiritual, I have long pondered it, I had never heard anything like it before. With such insightful, inspirational lines, "Babylon you throne gone down, gone down" and "One brlght morning when my work is over Man will fly away home" cause doesn't that hit the nail on the head, how one feel?
The three additional tracks, I agree with another reviewer, are added pluses, I already liked this album; just more reason too like it.
marley and gang at their near best
I have to say I do like the albums with Peter Tosh and bunny wailer much more than The later stuff. Maybe because I love both of their solo stuff especially tosh's pothead cult classic "legalize it". I will however agree with a former reviewer( I dont recall his name) that some of the songs are way to tedious for me. I shot the sheriff as a prime example, but dont let this stop you from buying the album, I would purchase natty dread or exodus first though.
