Midwest Record, CD Review >>
One of the few guys left that you can call a grand old man of reggae, Spear takes everything into his own hands and pulls off quite a dandy record complete with guest spots by Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell. Still the activist, Spear is releasing this new set on Marcus Garvey’s birthday. At 63 years old, he‘s expressing a great antipathy toward the organized record business and does quite a mighty job of showing what he can do with his own devices. A bouncy, bouyant and lively record even at its most political, reggae is alive and well as shown by the energy and spirit on the set. Reggae fans can rejoice that there’s something more than reissues out there now. If you’ve drifted away from the genre, this is a good time and place to come back in. \
