Pure Joy

"This compilation from three albums explores Jimmy Cliff's music at the height of his talent and the beauty of his songs.
Coming out both swinging with self-confidence and in prayerful meditation, this is beautiful music for both the reggae fan and non-reggae fan.
The album puts together tracks from three albums.
Unlimited 1973
House of Exile 1974
Brave Warrior 1975
Highlights include the tribute to his homeland, Oh Jamaica, gospel masterpieces like Be True and I See the Light, upbeat and catchy rollicking commentaries like You Cant Be Wrong and Get Right, Every Tub and Actions Speak Louder Than Word, and tributes to the music like Fundamental Reggay.
I can think of few albums more full of the joy of life and uplifting.
