This EP is a little taste to get us all ready for a full CD and tour coming in early 2012. Released 29 November 2011 on Collective Sounds (catalog no. The fire is still there,вЂќ Cliff explains in the pressВ release. As an artist and activist, I feel I have more to accomplish. вЂњThese songs are about the sacred fire inside of me. Shot down on the pavement, or waiting on Death Row? These are hard-hitting, no-compromise protest songs, and they do not advocate peaceful protest in the face ofВ violence: The other two songs on the EP are вЂњGuns of BrixtonвЂќ and вЂњBrixton Version,вЂќ a harder reggae take on the same song. Metacritic Music Reviews, Sacred Fire EP by Jimmy Cliff, Produced by Rancids Tim Armstrong and recorded on vintage equipment, Sacred Fire is the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers first release since 2004s B. There is also a wonderful version of вЂњA Hard RainвЂ™s Gonna FallвЂќ that I know Bob Dylan, who has called CliffвЂ™s вЂњVietnamвЂќ the best protest song ever, mustВ love. It is an important counter, too, to the heavier messages of the other songs on this CD. I especially love CliffвЂ™s fantastic version of вЂњRuby SohoвЂќ and his original song вЂњShip is Sailing,вЂќ with its message of overcoming any obstacles with love and determination, a message reggae delivers more effectively, I think, than nearly any other kind of music. вЂњJimmy is one of my musical heroes and IвЂ™ve been responding to his music my entire life,вЂќ explainsВ Armstrong. The song, and all the music here, has both the global sweep and the personal. Armstrong gives the music a fresh sound while giving full respect to CliffвЂ™s deep reggaeВ roots.

His commitment to social justice and unflinching desire to expose issues such as economic instability, war, and political hypocrisy shine through strongly on these five songs, which were produced by Tim Armstrong, who is known for his work with Operation Ivy, Rancid, and The Transplants. The EP features songs originally by the Clash, Rancid, and Bob Dylan, as well as an original by Jimmy Cliff. The EP, Sacred FireВ his first studio release in seven years, finds him just as strong and passionate and capable of touching hearts and minds just as effectively asВ always, Rhetta Akamatsu writes in BLOGCRITICS.ORG.Д¬liff is the only living musician to have received JamaicaвЂ™s Order of Merit, the countryвЂ™s highest award for achievement in the arts and sciences. A five song EP, Sacred Fire is produced by RancidвЂ™s Tim Armstrong and backed by the Engine Room, Sacred Fire is a way too short for how good it is. Here's hoping this is only the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the elder statesman of reggae and his young benefactor.The Honorable Jimmy Cliff has been a reggae legend for nearly 50 years. Cliff helps bring some bile to the fore, especially with his performance on 'Brixton,' but otherwise, he plays aims for a cooing kind of smoothness that perfectly matches the buoyancy of the music.Д¬liff hasn't sounded this loose and giddy in years, and it's a thrill to find that side of him back in the music game. To do that, they have put together a quick collection of cover songs with one original, including takes on the Clash's 'Guns Of Brixton,' the Bob Dylan classic 'A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall,' and even a run through Rancid's 'Ruby Soho.' In the case of the Rancid and Clash numbers, the anger has been pulled out of the music and replaced with head-bopping warmth that hints at the underlying tension of both tracks. are trying to do is whet people's appetites for Cliff's next full-length (his first in seven years).
