Farover

Farover is an album by the Jamaican reggae singer and musician Burning Spear, released in 1982.

Critical reception
Robert Christgau noted that "ever more delicate backup horns subsume ever more docile backup vocals as his unearthly outcries grow more coaxing, less admonitory." The Boston Globe called Farover "a generally solid roots effort, even if it is not as intense as Burning Spear Live." The Miami Herald deemed the album "typical of him—mostly philosophical tunes like 'O'Jah' and the title song that are bouncy and soothing at best." Trouser Press praised the "haunting vocals and trance-inducing music."
