This is the record that is said to have introduced reggae music to America. It's a soundtrack to a film released in 1973 about a reggae star who is forced to petty crime to survive.
It's got a killer soundtrack! Check it out:
Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross
The Slickers - Johnny Too Bad
Desmond Dekker - Shanty Town
The Maytals - Pressure Drop
The Melodians - Rivers of Babylon
and more stuff from Jimmy Cliff.
Happy to have this in my collection.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked this back in 2003 at the #119th greatest album of all time.
