Review

Uncut (p.90) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[R]eflecting the trials and tribulations of life in Kingston's ghettos with rare tenderness and a whole lot of soul....As perfect a set of sufferer's songs as you're ever likely to hear."
The Wire (p.57) - "[A]n untouchable stone classic masterpiece of both songwriter's craft and vocal delivery, rightly cementing his place in reggae's foundation."
Q (Magazine) (p.117) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he combination of loose-limbed jazzy rhythms, tinkling piano and expressive emotion sounding like nothing else from the era..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.119) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Higgs's voice is a marvel....[His band] whip up a New Orleansy groove which brilliantly matches the irrepressible mood of songs..."

Title Note

Personnel: Joe Higgs, Earl "Wire" Lindo, Val Douglas, Mikey, Eric Gale, Mike Chung.

Often regarded as a mere footnote in the history of reggae, Joe Higgs is best remembered for his behind-the-scenes role in the career of music legend Bob Marley. A vocal arranger for many early Wailers hits, as well as a songwriter for acts such as Toots and the Maytals, Higgs never scored similar success as a solo artist, but continued to record until his death in 1999. LIFE OF CONTRADICTION, a solo effort from 1976, is an overlooked yet seminal roots reggae chestnut. Brimming with captivating performances from top Jamaican session musicians, as well as heartfelt songwriting from Higgs himself, it's a welcome reissue of an underappreciated classic.
