Jimmy Cliff:

The Harder They Come:(1972)
While not entirely made up of Jimmy Cliff tracks, this is still a killer Jimmy Cliff record. In fact, this iconic album played a huge roll in popularizing Reggae music. I'm sure you're probably already familiar with this record's magic.


In Concert:(1976)
You just can't beat the amazing soaring vocals of the ever ebullient Jimmy Cliff, the man is amazing, and live performance is where he truly comes alive. I saw him recently, and he still sounds as good as he does on this 1976 live recording. You can't feel blue with Jimmy Cliff's music playing, especially when Many Rivers To Cross hits.


I Am The Living:(1980)
A few late 70's early 80's production techniques start creeping in on this one, but Cliff transcends better than most artist of this time. He's always had the ability to not just be Reggae, but Soul and R&B as well. I love this guy.
