I got Jim Fidler's new reggae CD Revolution Time a little over a
week ago and now, after having listened to it three times, I can
say that I recommend it to everyone as one of the best reggae
CDs I have ever heard.

The CD is full of brilliant original songs with a message plus only
two covers: Lively Up Yourself by Bob Marley and War Party
by Eddy Grant.

The track list is:

1. Intro (Time a Come) 00:19
2. Ringbang Revolution 04:24
3. Info War 04:14
4. Lively Up Yourself 05:56
5. New World Revolution 04:33
6: Mash it Up 06:24
7. Mash it Dub 02:09
8. Reality Time Intro (Wake Up the Sheeple) 00:22
9. Reality Time 06:09
10. War Party 04:27
11. Busy (Too Busy) 05:31
12. Busy Extra (Take Your Time) 00:18
13. Cherokee Chant Intro (Cherokee Morning Song) 00:33
14. Cherokee Chant 05:35
15. Revolution Time 03:30

Total playing time is 54:21.

In his early days Jim was in the reggae band Pressure Drop.
Since then he was involved more in folk, but this CD marks
a return to his reggae roots. And he does a great job; this
CD has lots of good songwriting, with a strong message
calling on listeners to bring about positive social change
using words, not weapons, plus is danceable.

Some song samples are on http://www.jimfidler.com and
you can also order the CD through that web site. It
should soon be available on amazon and iTunes.
Locally it is available at Fred's.

The CD is dedicated to Jim's father James Marley Fidler.
Jim is also Christina Aguilera's first cousin; Jim's father
is the brother of Christina's mother.
