Early success for Spear’s own label

Winston ‘Burning Spear’ Rodney has done the record label rounds, from Studio One to Island to Heartbeat. Now in his “pre-retirement” stage, as he puts it, his second album on his own Burning Music imprint, Our Music, has earned a nomination for the 2005 Reggae Grammy.

Of course, Grammy ground is not new territory for the man from the hills of St. Ann, birthplace of the man whose teachings he has been promoting for more than 30 years. And yes, Marcus Garvey does make an appearance among the 11 songs on Our Music ­ two, in fact, there is one song between ‘One Marcus’ and the album closing ‘Little Garvey’.
