Jimmy Cliff

I Am The Living

Another overlooked gem from Cliff, I Am the Living incorporates Cliff's typically universal sound and typically irresistible tunes. Every song here is just plain good. Not great, just good. The funky "Gone Clear" (which Cliff later unnecessarily remade as "Like a Rocket" for his mediocre Cliffhanger album) is a nice high-energy groove, as is the title track, while "Another Summer" and "It's the Beginning of the End" ar soothing works of art, and "All the Strength We Got" and "Love Again" are positive roots anthems.
