    Jimmy Cliff is back!

    Has a new CD out. Was driving home Friday night and a local station played this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...tag=acleint-20 holy shit, I thought, who is this kid ( I didn't know who it was) rocking fucking steady like the old school Montego Bay people. Christ, he must be in his sixties! Sounds awesome. I have it on pre order.

    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Love Jimmy since I was a kid, got to get to see him again.

    recently I saw Toots and the Maytals, fuckin Toots is unreal too, he doesn't age. This is from '09 but he looks and sounds just the same now.

    Jimmy Cliff is a great showman, he puts on truly uplifting concerts (I've seen him three times). He's the real deal.

    Toots et al LIT UP TargheeFest Friday night. Lots of acoustic guitar from him, variety in songs...Country Road??
    The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
    We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.

    Album just hit MOG and I just listened to it. Solid all the way through! I think he just played locally and now I regret not going. I was afraid he would be like Yellowman when I saw him a few years ago, well past his prime. This new album sounds like Jimmy would put on a good show, see him if you can. Not a weak track on the album.

    Yeah, great stuff in this cd. Guns of Brixton is cool. Hell of a singer.

    Digging this album. Produced by Tim Armstrong, you can tell he had an input in the song selection.
