Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping away from The Wailers to forge his own highly introspective path, Bunny Wailer delivered an astonishingly warm, deeply spiritual roots reggae classic. 'Blackheart Man' is a profoundly soothing, beautifully tropical exploration of Rastafarian faith, combining intensely passionate, apocalyptic protest with deeply religious, wonderfully mellow riddims.
