Bob Marley & The Wailers - Burnin` [Remaster]

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Burnin` [Remaster] Artist: Marley, Bob See Also: Charlie Hunter Quartet - Natty Dread Various Artists - Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions Of Bob Marley [3/13] Various Artists - Keep It Burning: The Hawaiian Tribute To Bob Marley [7/17] Description:Bob Marley & The Wailers: Bob Marley (vocals, guitar); Peter Tosh (guitar, piano, organ, background vocals); Earl Lindo (keyboards); Aston Barrett (bass instrument); Carlton Barrett (drums); Bunny Wailer (congas, bongos, background vocals); Alvin "Seeco" Patterson (percussion). Recording information: Harry J. Studios, Kingston, Jamaica. Released just six months after CATCH A FIRE, BURNIN` is the equal of its predecessor in its musical focus and passion, yet it contains--arguably--an even better batch of songs. Leaner, tighter, and simultaneously more hard-hitting and more hook-oriented than the songs on CATCH A FIRE, the set list here dazzles. Two tracks in particular, the inspirational civil rights anthem "Get Up, Stand Up" and the story-song "I Shot the Sheriff," are among the best songs Bob Marley ever wrote. The uncompromising tone of the former reveals the band`s militant streak and their allegiance to human freedoms, while the latter, on a languid, mid-tempo groove, is an allegory that shows Marley`s growing versatility as a first-rate songwriter (the song later became a number one hit for Eric Clapton). BURNIN` features a number of tunes from the early Wailers` catalogue re-recorded for these sessions, including "Put It On," "Small Axe," and "Duppy Conqueror." This material holds up remarkably well, and fits into the context of the album without a hitch. "Burnin` and Lootin`," one of the band`s spookier songs, is another highlight, and adds to the tense, revolutionary feel of the set. The musicianship here is superior--with contributions from Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer standing out--but this was to be the last album with the original line-up before Tosh and Wailer left for solo careers.Track Listing: •DISC 1 1.Get up, Stand Up 2.Hallelujah Time 3.I Shot the Sheriff 4.Burnin` and Lootin` 5.Put It On 6.Small Axe 7.Pass It On 8.Duppy Conqueror 9.One Foundation 10.Rasta Man Chant 11.Reincarnated Souls 12.No Sympathy 13.Opressed Song, The Album Information
