Jimmy Cliff (* 1. April 1948 in St. Catherine, Jamaika als James Chambers) ist ein jamaikanischer Reggaek�nstler, der durch Songs wie Many Rivers to Cross vom Soundtrack-Album The Harder They Come bekannt wurde und mit diesen am weltweiten Durchbruch der Reggaemusik beteiligt war. Lieder von Jimmy Cliff wurden von vielen K�nstlern weltweit in Coverversionen aufgenommen. Unter anderem spielt Bruce Springsteen eine Version von Cliffs Trapped seit 1981 auf vielen Konzerten; von 1992 bis 1993 war Cliffs Many Rivers to Cross ebenfalls Bestandteil von Springsteens Liveauftritten. Cliffs You Can Get It If You Really Want aus der Filmmusik zu The Harder They Come wurde f�r Desmond Dekker ein internationaler Hit.

Musically, Cliff has retained his ability to produce the uplifting melodies typical of yesteryear; best exemplified in No Problems Only Solutions, which is reminiscent of one of his earlier hit songs You Can Get It If You Really Want. However, the sound of the whole album is way too polished, thanks (but no thanks) to the over-zealous production talents of Dave Stewart. Thus the result is closer to late UB40 (or worse still, the Lighthouse Family) than roots reggae.
The lyrics are another area which are heavily overstated. It remains a sad fact in music that when people begin to talk about positivity and power of the people, they begin to sound like an S Club 7 song. While the sentiment, of course, is laudable and there’s no doubt that Cliff really means it, there are no attempts to disguise the cliches as they come thick and fast. “The world is yours with a positive mind,” he says on ‘Positive Mind’, and even states that “Every cloud has a silver lining” without a hint of irony in No Problems Only Solutions.
Ultimately, it’s the sort of record you would expect from a living legend whose chances of recreating his former greatness in this day and age are slim. I would suggest any newcomers to Cliff’s music to delve deep into his past work, leaving this album to the completionists.
