Words by Jesse Serwer—
We’re betting you know by now that Jimmy Cliff has a new album produced by punk rock luminary Tim Armstrong (Rancid, Operation Ivy) on the way. Well, that record, a follow up to the Sacred Fire EP the duo hit us with last year, now has a name, a track listing and a release date. Rebirth, which includes 10 original tracks plus covers of The Clash’s “Guns of Brixton” and Rancid’s “Ruby Soho,” drops July 17 through Universal Music. And the man who told us The harder they come, the harder they fall and You can get if if you really want may yet have another song for the ages in his bag. “One More,” which he performed on David Letterman a few weeks back, is a TUNE, an anthem for music lovers and makers that captures the ecstasy and anticipation of closing time, when all everybody wants to hear is jus’ one more.
