Special thanks to all the future musicians that played on the album, Mrs. Rodney, all the staff at Heartbeat Records - especially Bill Nowlin for his faith in Burning Spear Music, most important, the fans, because without you none of this would be possible. Keep the Spear Burning. One Love...Peace in this 2000.

Burning Spear is reggae's most consistent and enduring artist. Not a year goes by that he doesn't release a blockbuster album or complete a major tour. Calling Rastafari finds Spear rejuvenated, and full of fresh ideas and melodies. For these all-new recordings, he enlists an improved version of the Burning Band, which includes Jamaica's brightest new talent as well as the seasoned professionals we're accustomed to hearing alongside the voice of Burning Spear. Real drums, real horns, real bass - real reggae music.
