hows everyone like this album? i just got it after sort of looking at it in the store for a year and never buying and it's overall a good release i think. i like bunny alot but he can get boring over the course of an lp, less diverse than the other wailers

i havnt check it dont like most of his stuff besides armiggdeon and rise and shine

if you aren't a big fan this album is definately not for you, very typical bunny themes and sounds on this release

I dont like "protest", flat and easy songs...

The "Struggle" lp is a far better release, just check the nyabinghi vibe of "The old Dragon". Anyway "Blackheart man" is his best release of the seventies

personaly, i love the protest album, like blackheartman, struggle, roots radics reggae rockers, rootsman skanking and the live in jamaica 83

Its one of my favorite Bunny albums,but it does have to grow on you!

it's better than "sings the wailers" i think,although that one has a couple of great songs

i agree, better than sing the wailers

Hi PapaDave

I am pleased you say it's a grower as I have this album and have only ever played it once. Best I dust it off and let it grow on me.
Presumably it's nowhere as good as "Blackheart Man".
