  • The sound of Roots Raggae from the seventies is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I wore out my eight track of the live concert from 1977. It was the structure of this song that fascinated me at the time. I had only just discovered Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff. Winston Rodney's plaintive cry, the sheer emotion of this song, as if he was channeling centuries of slave descendants, was haunting. It was nothing I had ever heard before, and next to my Jethro Tull, Yes, and Led Zeppelin, was beyond comparison, an entirely different animal.

  • @TruMpetTeen417 I have read your comments and you really did your homework on slavery. I agree with most you are saying, but just to respond to your first comment: The message in the music is 'Don't let this happen again'. It's that simple, has nothing to do with black / white, red / yellow or green / purple, who traded who and for what reasons, the message is 'Never Again'.

  • His live shows are a spiritual experience, He of course sounds different now vocally, but the deep feel & earthiness of his vibe is the anchor. Wish you'd come to the U.S. as much as you do Europe, Spear, we love you!!!!!
