5.0 out of 5 stars Bunny Wailer's Blackheart Man, December 30, 1999

This album is deffinetly the best reggae album of it's time. It deffines reggae not just as a type of music but also as a state of mind. The gem tracks of this amazing album (in my opinion), are "Blackheart Man, "Fighting Against Conviction", "Fig Tree", "Dream Land", "Rasta Man", and "Bide Up". If you like reggae, you will love this album. I promise!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest CDs ever recorded, August 29, 1999

Another thing about this CD in addition to the greatness of Bunny, is the musicianship, which is other-worldly. The arrangements, particularly "Blackheart Man" itself, are stunning, and just even Tyrone Downie's multiple keyboard work on the title track (analog keyboards, 2 inch 16 track recording, great studios, the 70s, Island Records, Brian Eno - what an era) is a thing to behold. Bob Marley's drummer Carlton Barrett plays drums and is genius, Skatalites hornsman the late Tommy McCook, Robbie Shakespeare, all make this album a work of pure genius, one of those things that comes once in a lifetime. Bunny Wailer is as significant as Leonardo DaVinci.

First of all I am a roots reggae FANATIC so my review may be biased, but this IS a GREAT record. Bunny wailer has created a reggae masterpiece here and Armageddion truly stands out as the best track on the cd. I highly recommend Black Heart Man to everyone who loves nice pure roots jamaican reggae with soul. I also HIGHLY recommend Rootsman Skanking which is another beautiful recording by Bunny Wailer. You will not be disappointed. One Love!
