	Burning Spear: The Ultimate Collection - PopMatters Music Review
		Hailing from Marcus Garvey's birthplace, St. Ann's Bay in Jamaica, Burning Spear was perhaps the first reggae artist to use his music as a vehicle for the dissemination of Garvey's creed of Black liberation.
		These dark, snaking grooves -- in which Burning Spear's vocals are nicely supplemented by the harmonies of Delroy Hines and Rupert Wellington, topped off with resonant horns -- encapsulate Spear's pioneering, heavy roots sound (enhanced, of course, by the mixing magic of Ruby).
		Although the primary focus of this generous collection is Burning Spear's Island Records output between 1975 and 1980, a brief sampling of some of his more recent work is also included.
