Burnin' is the sixth studio album by Jamaican reggae band The Wailers, released in October 1973. It was written mostly by bandleader Bob Marley and produced by Chris Blackwell. A commercial and critical success in the United States, Burnin' was certified Gold and later added to the National Recording Registry, with the Library of Congress deeming it historically and culturally significant.

The album’s almost-title track ‘Burnin’ And Lootin’’ promised a full-scale riot. Powered by Aston Family Man Barrett’s supremely melodic bass line and brother Carlton Barrett’s one-drop drum beat, the song had a groove that hovered somewhere between a funeral march and an all-night shebeen. Kaya was initially released just one month ahead of Bob Marley & The Wailers headlining the legendary One Love Peace Concert at The National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica on April 22, 1978, an event that featured 16 of reggae’s biggest acts. One Love Peace was heralded as Marley’s triumphant return to his native soil, following his long exile in London after having fled the country as a result of a December 1976 assassination attempt at his Kingston homestead.

The Wailers' fourth album overall, Burnin', was their second for Island Records, released only six months after its predecessor, Catch a Fire. Given that speed, it's not surprising that several tracks - "Put It On," "Small Axe," and "Duppy Conqueror" - are re-recordings of songs dating back a few years. Bob Marley was a first among equals, of course, and after this album his partners, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer, quit the group, which thereafter was renamed Bob Marley and the Wailers.

Burnin’ was released making it Bob Marley and The Wailers second release for Island Records. This album matches Catch Fire spiritual themes and anthemic style. Songs illuminated the desperation of poor Jamaican life, whilst looking for religious salvation, their themes accentuated by the compelling rhythms and the alternating vocals of the three singers. In 2007 the album was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry for its historical and cultural significance.

At Leeds, the Wailers deliver a punchy, soulful set, including four Burnin' highlights, along with the Catch A Fire tracks "Slave Driver," "Stop That Train," "Midnight Ravers," "No More Trouble," "Kinky Reggae" & "Stir It U. Also included is Peter Tosh's "You Can't Blame the Youth" & a 13-minute rendition of "Lively Up Yourself," an early song that Marley would revive on the following year's Natty Dread album. Burnin' - What a classic album! So much has been written about it that there is no need for me to address it. You simply must have it and love it.
