DON'T be put off by the grotesque headshot cover picture of Jimmy in dark glasses, mouth wide open and what looks like fragments of melted plastic stuck to his face.
Inside lurks a treat from the 54-year-old who brought reggae to the world outside his Jamaica home. This 12-track album comes 30 years after the hit that launched his career, The Harder They Come, and was followed by Wonderful World, Beautiful People and the song he wrote for Desmond Dekker, You Can Get It If You Really Want It. Now a reggae father figure - he even helped the legendary Bob Marley get started - Jimmy just gets better with age. Let the sun shine in with Love Comes, Jamaica Time and Terror, Cliff's take on the events of September 11, 2001. Sumptuous sounds with guests vocals from Sting, Annie Lennox and Joe Strummer. Jimmy is still a sunshine superman.
