One from the Spear

Down by the Riverside- Burning Spear I was playing my copy of Spear's 1977 classic album Dry and Heavy last night and stumble across this old chestnut that hasn't cross my turntable for years. I thought I'd roll it out for my fellow Music Banter members to give a listen to. BTW, Dry and Heavy deserves a wider audience. While not the perfect statement of sublime Rastafarianism that Marcus Garvey was, Dry and Heavy comes pretty damn close to roots perfection.
