CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Originally released in England as Jimmy Cliff, this album contained some of the best material of Cliff's career. By itself, "Many Rivers to Cross," with its soulful, churchy feel, would have been enough to put him in the history books. Add the very political "Vietnam," the hopeful title track, and you had a reggae classic. The other material only suffers in comparison to those three standouts, really, but almost anything would. While the film 'The Harder They Come' would really bring him international recognition, this truly put him on the musical map. --Chris Nickson Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA classic Sean M. Kelly | Portland, Oregon United States | 09/19/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "To capitalize on the strong tracks from his 1st lp, A&M records re-released his "Jimmy Cliff" debut lp in America as the important "Wonderful World, Beautiful People," where it met with a good measure of success.Whether you buy this lp of Cliff's self titled debut on the Trojan label, you still get many of the strong tracks that made Cliff famous, including "Vietnam," "Time Will Tell," "Many Rivers to Cross," and "Sufferin' In the Land."An indespensible lp, no reggae collection is complete without either release. Superb." How Could It Be That Only Two People Have Reviewed This? Mickey J. Lindsay | Portland, Oregon | 12/29/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a classic and the reviewer who said there are only three really good tracks is crazy - every song on this is as exactly as it should be. Put this on while you are drving and feel your spirits lift. Never met anyone who didn't like it once exposed to it. If it is not currently in print, I have to wonder what is wrong with the world. Skip the anthologies - this album deserves to be listened to from beginning to end as one great piece of art from a particular time period."
