Excellent 5-star EP,

Great great album! The sound and production (produced by Rancid's Tim Armstrong) are clean and crisp, the backing band sounds tight and organic and Jimmy is in fantastic vocal form. The song selection is great, not a weak song in the bunch. They all have beautiful melodies and catchy choruses. The covers of Dylan's A Hard Rain and the Clash's Guns of Brixton are the best cover versions of those two tunes that I've ever heard. I've been playing this EP constantly since I got it and cannot wait for Jimmy's next full-length album. If you are a fan of Rancid, the Clash, Bob Dylan, Desmond Dekker, old-school reggae and ska, then this is for you. Highly recommended!

Do NOT hesitate, buy this HEAVY, HEAVY release NOW! The S...K...A...SKA-master Jimmy Cliff does it again. The LION says come one, come all Clash, Dylan and Rancid fans! DIG the super-dubelicious Brixton Version...it's a DUB-WISE EXTRAVAGANJA...JA...JA...

love this new track by jimmy cliff. Really relevant material, very relatable compared to other reggae as i am getting older. more mature sound. whole thing is good but agreed track one is the rub a dub style. ruby soho is one of my favorite punk songs of all time. great to hear jimmy rootreggae out the ska.
