Photographers: Mark Seliger; Tom Sheehan . If the reggae legend's 2004 effort Black Magic was like Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett's Duets albums --late-era, star-filled, and somewhat flat -- Rebirth is Jimmy Cliff's American Recordings (Johnny Cash) or Praise & Blame (Tom Jones), where a veteran artist goes raw and relights the fire with the help of a kindred spirit/knowing producer. For Cash and Jones, it was Rick Rubin and Ethan Johns respectively, while here it's a bit of a surprise with Rancid frontman and Clash devotee Tim Armstrong delivering something well above the expected punky reggae party. "Guns of Brixton" is a natural, and Cliff's take on Rancid's "Ruby Soho" is a ska recreation to behold, but when the sometimes poptacular reggae singer dons a wild, Lee "Scratch" Perry persona for the carnival song "Bang" ("I came into this life, I came in with a bang/I'm living my life, I live it with a bang"), deep reggae fan Armstrong knows what to do, surrounding his man Upsetter-style with a whirling dervish of ska while adding a searing guitar solo as well. When the singer gets nostalgic on "Reggae Music" ("1962, Orange Street, Kingston Jamaica/I sang my song for Leslie Kong, he said.") the backing track is alive with that roots based magic and one drop power, yet Cliff's the one who seals the deal here and throughout the album, performing like a young buck while packing his years and wisdom into the songwriting. On that front, there's the Occupy Movement theme "World Upside Down" and the powerful single "One More", while the sweetness comes from the sentimental "Ship Is Sailing", a nautical metaphor so warm it could be slipped into a Jimmy Buffett set easily, even as the tinkling keyboards honor reggae legend Jackie Mittoo, thus nominating Armstrong's loving recreation as one of the most loved. It's a return to form and just what fans of Cliff's early work could ask for, but it's vital too, putting it on the man's top shelf, somewhere in the vicinity of The Harder They Come soundtrack and Wonderful World, Beautiful People. ~ David Jeffries

商品の紹介

1960年代初頭から活躍するレゲエ・レジェンズ、Jimmy Cliffによる8年振りのオリジナル・アルバム。
発売・販売元 提供資料(2012/06/13)

Rolling Stone (p.64) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's the strongest case for the vitality of West Indian roots music that anyone has made in decades....Most of the originals are strong enough to pass as covers of classic jams." Billboard (p.28) - "REBIRTH speaks to Cliff's participation in the history he describes at the same time that it clears a path forward. It pairs a vintage sound with fresh thoughts..." Q (Magazine) (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "The 64-year-old singer's on top form vocally...with fiery calls for justice....A treat for all passing Jamaican audio buffs."
Rovi

昨年末のEPに続いてティム・アームストロング(ランシド)をプロデューサーに迎えた、フル・アルバムとしては8年ぶりとなる新作! 『The HarderThey Come』を生んだ全盛期を彷彿とさせる、いなたい空気の充満した70sレゲエ&スカ・サウンドがズラリと並んでいて、一発録りっぽいラフな演奏はティムのソロ作とも通じるところあり。クラッシュ“ The Guns Of Brixton”やランシド“Ruby Soho”のカヴァーも秀逸だ。
