Jimmy Cliff!

[whynotsmile99]

Youtube video just posted on Coachella's Facebook page. If he is indeed there, go see him, fantastic at the Hollywod Bowl this summer. Or last summer.

[Iamwelting]

This is amazing.

[kvnty]

Totally on board with this add. Totally!

[travelfan]

Where would you get started with him? Does he have a seminal album?

[SepaGroove]

Great add!!! I'm really optimistic about the lineup this year. I'm getting the itch, I can't wait

Doesn't even matter if you know his music or not, you will still enjoy his show as long as you aren't expecting dubstep. I saw him at Osheaga in 2010 and I had a fucking blast, and the only song I could think of his was 'I can see clearly now, the rain is gone...'.

[blueduck]

sounds amazing

[oatsack]

Saturday right around sunset would be perfect for Jimmy Cliff.

[Gribbz]

Not an add. Awesome nonetheless.

[ods..]

Yes!!!

[Dragonite]

Nice pickup. Will check out his set.

[rjadams90]

Jimmy Cliff, Swag me out

[303dubbin]

I'll be there. reminds me of my youngin days crusin around with my units.

[TomAz]

I am very happy about this. I will be singing like a stupid fool.

The thing is, Jimmy Cliff only has 4 songs on this album. They are 4 really great songs, yes, but this is not a Jimmy Cliff album, it's a compilation of various early 70s reggae bands.

So I suggest this instead as the seminal Jimmy Cliff album:

Aren't we all gettin that itch?

[yeahfontaine]

Yay! Will be fantastic way to see Jimmy for my first time. Now my mom's gonna want to go.

[koryp]

Awesome performer live and he had an excellent band last time I watched him, however I can't stop thinking of "Up in Smoke" when I see his name or hear his music.

[fikus222]

Highly recommend seeing him.

In 1999, I saw him open for DMB in Arizona. It was pretty effing sweet. That afternoon, a huge sandstorm blew across the entirety of the Valley of the Sun, blotting out everything. Then it started to rain. After awhile, Jimmy Cliff and band took the stage. As they did so, it proceeded to stop raining and the sun came out from behind the clouds. Jimmy Cliff opened the set with I Can See Clearly Now. Good times in the AZ.

This.

I also will be singing like a stupid fool. This is so exciting.

Good god. One listen and I'm instantly a fan. Sign me UP for his set!

This. So dope.

[frozen pilgrim]

holy shit

[travelfan]

I'm at home sick and have been playing Jimmy for the last few hours straight...love this guy's voice and vibe! This would be such a good late afternoon chill set, just relaxing with good friends and good music before nighttime begins (Erykah Badu slot but maybe Outdoor instead). I absolutely love these eclectic video drops, I easily would have overlooked him on the lineup and now he's a must see.

[bganch]

Awesome.

[GolfWang]

2012's first great confirmation.

Never seen him live but I remember being very impressed with the webcast of his Bonnaroo performance. Excited.

[chunk]

Yes. This is very exciting.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

This guy was at something I've been to before. Lollapalooza maybe?

Edit: Yup, Lollapalooza 2010. I saw Tiga instead. Boom.

[wstsidela]

Unfuckin'believable!!! Many Rivers to Cross at sunset will be epic.

[Rod Azlan]

I have been thinking about this all day since I heard the song earlier but I had to goto work. I am checking alot of his stuff out on youtube. I can't wait to see this set
