Legendary Jamaican singer/songwriter Jimmy Cliff has announced that he will be releasing a brand-new full-length album this summer entitled RE.BIRTH.  The album, which was recorded with the help of Tim Armstrong from Rancid, promises to blend a classic reggae style with modern sounds and ideas.  From the video, it seems like Cliff and Armstrong really clicked and each has immense amount of respect for the others’ talents.

Jimmy Cliff will be performing at this year’s SXSW festival in Austin, TX March 14-17th as well as at COACHELLA festival April 13th and 20th.
