Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0042284277327Label : Universal / IslandManufacturer : Universal / IslandPublisher : Universal / IslandRelease date : 1996-06-10Title : The Best Of Jimmy CliffRunning time : 75Studio : Universal / IslandNumber of discs : 1 Saw the man himself at Glastonbury Festival 2003 and he brought the sunshine out and Jamaica to the people what a show. This CD is a fantastic collection of all his hits and you wont go wrong by listening to this on a hot summers day - you will have a smile on your face. This is about as uplifting as music can get.
In the late 1960s Jimmy Cliff was along with Desmond Dekker the popface of the burgeoning reggae-scene. He hit the charts with the unashamedly commercial tracks 6,7,9 and 12, that still sound fresh today. He gained fame starring in the underground hitmovie The harder they come, contributing great classic tracks to its soundtrack (10,15,19). But then he tried to record soul and the results were solid but undistinguished tracks 8,16,20. This compilation does present all his other great reggae tracks such as the opening track, Sufferin' in the land and Struggling man.
An enjoyable cd for a great price and the best Jimmy Cliff around.
For those of you who are new to Jimmy Cliffe, this CD is an excellent one to start your collection.
Worth buying for track 15 on its own (many rivers to cross), this CD is a must for any reggae/ska fan - but then, anyone in the know would already have it!
