5.0 out of 5 stars a gem of an lp, September 18, 2000

"Man In the Hills" is one of many Burning Spear lps that I deem my favorites (like a silly child in a candy store, my favorite is whatever I listen to at that moment, though "Marcus Garvey" will always be the absolute favorite), and for good reason.

As is commonplace for any early Spear effort, the trio adeptly takes on anyone and everyone in their tornado like path. The results are as cataclysmic today as they were in 1976. Listen to the songs. "No More War" is as pertantent now as then. "Mother" is as touching, "Children" as powerful. The point is that this album, as many of Burning Spear's, has that timeless quality that will endear it to future generations.

That is the sign of a great album, and this album is just that. GREAT!

St Anne's Bay son mr. Winston Rodney pays tribute to his homeland in this roots cd, the last colaboration with Jack Ruby. Best of the best from the reggae original prophet.

4.0 out of 5 stars ..And if you should live up in the hills..., July 23, 1999

This beautiful album of roots music draws power from its simplicity - reflecting the earthbound, day-to-day strength and struggle of Jamaica's country people. It evokes sunshine and banana trees, dreads and livity, children and solidarity - and of course the flame that keeps the album burnin', Mr. Winston Rodney AKA Burning Spear has a voice to match his thick, strong, and flowing dreads. Irie I.
