About this album

I Am The Living is a strong late-era Jimmy Cliff album, balancing melodic reggae craft with the spiritual and social concerns that defined his best work. Issued in 1980, it presents Cliff in command of his songcraft, moving between buoyant grooves and more reflective material without losing momentum. The title track and songs such as “Another Summer” and “Morning Train” underline his gift for immediate, memorable writing, while the record’s polished yet roots-aware sound places it squarely in the transitional period after reggae’s international breakthrough. It stands as a compelling example of Cliff’s enduring range and authority as a singer, writer and interpreter.
