Album Cover - Bob Marley and the Wailers - Burnin'

Burnin' is the second and final official album recorded by the Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer) and was released just six months after their first release Catch a Fire. Like Catch a Fire, many tracks on Burnin' are re-recordings of older tracks.

The album features two songs sung by Bunny Wailer "Hallelujah Time" and "Pass it On" and two songs sung by Peter Tosh, "One Foundation" and "Get Up, Stand Up".

Tensions between the three Wailers led to the group splitting up shortly after Burnin' was released. All three of the Wailers went on to pursue their own musical careers with Bob Marley recording (with an assortment of musicians) under the name "Bob Marley and the Wailers".

This album does not have quite the same raw energy of Catch a Fire or the commercial appeal of albums such as Exodus but, like all Bob Marley albums, Burnin' is a classic and a must for any reggae music collection.
