AllMusic Staff Picks
In Concert: The Best of Jimmy Cliff
1976
Presented by producer Andrew Loog Oldham of Rolling Stones fame, this live album is arguably overly mixed by purists standards, but the stately performances cut through all that audience sweetening real quick. Filled with enough hits to get a "Best of" in the title, this comes from the reggae singer's Harder They Come era, so consider it crucial.
October 20, 2009
Brooklyn-based heavy psych band Naam is calling it quits following one last show this weekend after five years, two full-lengths, two EPs and a seven-inch of Nirvana covers. On their 2009 debut LP, the band established its template of stoned grooves, haulin' ass riffs and bursts of speed, indebted equally to prog, grunge, European psychedelia and American stoner rock, powered by thick bass tones, reverb-washed vocals and pummeling (when appropriate) drums.
