Song of the Day: Jimmy Cliff, “One More”

Song of the Day: Jimmy Cliff, “One More”

 

Imagine recording one of the most iconic reggae albums of all time in The Harder They Come and then 40 years later, putting out one of the best reggae albums of the year. Jimmy Cliff has done just that, with his 2012 gem appropriately titled Rebirth. If that wasn’t enough, he covers “Guns of Brixton” which is where The Clash gave him props for his role in The Harder They Come, thus completing a wondrous full circle.
