Zion Higher Riddim – Studio One

Zion Higher produced by Coxsone Dodd for Studio One in 1977

Rooted in Coxsone Dodd’s Studio One, Zion Higher Riddim dates from 1977 and pairs Burning Spear’s Zion Higher with Im and Dave’s Nite Ride, giving the rhythm a clean roots-era balance between militant vocal fire and a lighter, instrumental-side feel. Burning Spear was already one of Studio One’s key voices by that point, and the cut fits neatly into the label’s late-70s run of conscious reggae coming out of Brentford Road.
