Liner Note Author: Scott Schinder. 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: BURNIN` REMASTERED: 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 14.Get up, Stand Up 15.Get up, Stand Up •DISC 2: LIVE AT LEEDS, NOVEMBER 23, 1973: 1.Duppy Conqueror 2.Slave Driver 3.Burnin` and Lootin` 4.Can`t Blame the Youth 5.Stop the Rain 6.Midnight Ravers 7.No More Trouble 8.Kinky Reggae 9.Get up, Stand Up 10.Stir It Up 11.Put It On 12.Lively up Yourself Album Information
