The man known as Burning Spear was born Winston Rodney at St Ann’s Bay, Jamaica in 1948 and his unusual name for the duo he formed in the late 1960s comes from Jomo Kenyatta, the Mau Mau leader who eventually became the president of Kenya – his Christian name means ‘Burning Spear’ in English. ‘Man in the Hills’ was the follow-up to the seminal ‘Marcus Garvey’, produced by Jack Ruby, and is a simple and unadorned album with songs that reminisce about Spear\’s childhood in St. Anne\’s Bay, Jamaica. After ‘Marcus Garvey’, Spear\’s fame had grown considerably, and he was a star in Jamaica and cult sensation in the United Kingdom. ‘Man in the Hills’ was a much quieter and more restrained album than its predecessor, and was more astral and dreamlike than militant and radical, though songs like ‘Is It Good’ and ‘No More War’ continued to address social issues.
