For some reason I've had a lot of reggae playing in my head lately. Maybe it just feels right for the summertime. I got into reggae years ago, probably when I noticed its influence on rock music (Eric Clapton, The Police, even The Clash.) My interest in it ebbs and flows. The past week, I've been hearing Jimmy Cliff a lot. He's one of the superstars of reggae, and has been playing for something like 45 years now.
Wonderful World, Beautiful People- probably my favorite of his, and a nice relaxing tune with a message.
Club Paradise- title song from the soundtrack of the movie (one of those where the soundtrack is better than the movie; still worth checking out.)
The Harder They Come- from the movie of the same name; Cliff starred again.
Vietnam- a sad protest song.
