"Rebirth" by living reggae legend, Jimmy Cliff is a fully rewarding listening experience. He has lost none of his supple vocal quality and range. Time has deepened his lower range imbuing his words with deeper meaning and insight. His Jamaican message remains consistent - that love, peace and truth will conquer all. The production of this date is immaculate, but the music is free flowing and relaxed. You can see why WEMU hosts collectively wanted to share this excellent new music with you.
