A superb album, which while not in the same class as Spear's first five releases, proves that the artist still has a good deal of simmer left.Latest Bollywood Songs Brahmastra Songs | Vikram Vedha Songs | Liger Songs | Doctor G (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Songs | Cuttputlli (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Songs | Goodbye (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Songs | Kesariya (From "Brahmastra") Songs | RRR (Hindi) Songs | Harry's House Songs | Raksha Bandhan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Songs | Man Of The Moon Songs | Top New Hindi Songs Manike (From "Thank God") Song | Coka 2.0 (From "Liger") Song | Alcoholia (From "Vikram Vedha") Song | Rasiya (From "Brahmastra" Song | Teri Galliyon Se Song | Har Jagah Tu (From "Doctor G") Song | Mahi Mera Dil (From "Dhokha Round D Corner") Song | Kesariya (From "Brahmastra") Song | Tere Vich Rab Disda Song | Top Albums New Hindi Songs | New International Songs | New Punjabi Songs | New Tamil Songs | New Telugu Songs | New Kannada Songs | New Malayalam Songs | New Bhojpuri Songs | New Devotional Songs | New Marathi Songs | New Ghazals & Sufi Songs | New Bengali Songs | New Gujarati Songs | New Haryanvi Songs | New Instrumental Songs | New Rajasthani Songs | Bollywood Top Artists Badshah | Arijit Singh | Sonu Nigam | Sunidhi Chauhan | Shreya Ghoshal | Kishore Kumar | Mohammed Rafi | Lata Mangeshkar | Asha Bhosle | K.J. And just to further ground the album, there's "Old Boy Garvey," yet another tribute to Jamaica's most famous son. That is actually less rootsy than the original that Spear cut for Coxsone Dodd all those years ago, although the wailing sirens in the background give it a perfect contemporary flavor.
But that's nothing compared to "Fire Man," which drags "Fire Down Below" out of the archives and into the modern age. Simultaneously, the Burning Band returns to Studio One and drag its '60s sound straight into the later roots age. If that bubbles, "In Africa" boings, as the chanter now reinvents himself as Eek-A-Mouse and boingy boings his way across the opening of the song. Past injustices still rankle, or at least bubble, as they do on "2000 Years," which gurgles up from the roots, then seeps through the dancehalls. Yet "Bad to Worse" makes clear that Rodney hasn't become a full-blown optimist just yet. The latter is a song for the ladies, which, even after "She's Mine" broke Spear's cultural mold on Farover, comes as a surprise. It's a transformation that the unity-themed "Vision" further supports, and "For You" confirms. No longer the immediate imperative, repatriation now seems more a long-term goal, a significant sea change, moving Rodney away from his earlier militancy and toward a more visionary stance. "Repatriation" boasts an equally sublime groove, with the band almost melting into it. World Charts New Releases Upcoming Albums. Burning Spear The Fittest Of The Fittest. Overhead, Winston Rodney chants along, a long-distance roadrunner eating up the miles and passing cultural touchstones along the way.

The Burning Band's rhythm section lays down a succulently meaty groove, while the rest of the musicians weave in and out, layering on riffs and flourishes to create a rich tapestry of sound. The Fittest of the Fittest's title track encapsulates both the sound and vision of what was to come. After the rather disappointing Farover, this mellow album laid down a firm foundation for the future, ensuring that while Burning Spear's fire no longer burned as fiery as before, a bright glow would still last down through the years.
