5 out of 5 stars The greatest reggae album ever   September 18, 2005
 10 out of 11 found this review helpful

Am I including Bob Marley in my title statement? Yes. As much as I love Marley's work, I prefer this album to anything he has done. Marley is good, but is just the surface of all the great Jamacian music out there. Jimmy Cliff, Desmond Dekker, Justin Hines, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Toots & the Maytals, and many others are just as talented as Marley was. In other words, there is so much more to rocksteady and reggae than just "Legend". That album is the perfect gateway drug to reggae, but this is really the first non-Marley reggae album you should pick up to get initiated into the genre (the film is a cult classic also). There isn't a single weak track on this album, which can not be said really of any of Marley's studio LPs. There is so much variety on this album, and it shows that Reggae can be some of the most soulful music ever. There is little production, and it is raw and unpolished. It paints a perfect portrait of the country, as the songs give you a feel of the atmosphere. I can honestly say that as much as I love Bob Marley (and I do very much so), I take out this album for a listen more often.

One of the first and still one the best. A great way to introduce someone to the different styles of reggae.

This is one of the great Soundtrack albums of all time. Ballads like "Many Rivers to Cross" are among the finest songs ever recorded. A classic.

5 out of 5 stars A TOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME   October 19, 2004
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I recently got around to digging out and re-playing this Jimmy Cliff tape (which I made from the old album before that wore out). I found myself hitting the "replay" button over and over. The songs stick to your insides like a winter stew. You'll mull over the lyrics and especially the beautiful melodies. I even found myself -- out of the blue -- singing these songs to my wife. Don't do that to your spouse. Let Jimmy do the singing....
