Living Dub Vol. 4 Explained
Living Dub Volume 4 is an album by the Jamaican reggae musician Burning Spear, released in 1999.[2]
Critical reception
The New Zealand Herald thought that "while being generally good smoky stuff, it doesn't bear comparison with his crucial Marcus Garvey/Garvey's Ghost and Social Living/Living Dub pairings from way back which drop your unsuspecting brain down an elevator shaft."[3]
AllMusic wrote that "it's not exactly easy listening, but to those with ears to hear, Burning Spear makes some of the most compelling reggae there is."
