So England are finally world champions at something! Following the amazing Twenty20 World Cup win in the Windies I thought I’d post a Caribbean song with a twist. Bob Marley is without doubt the biggest artist to come out of the Caribbean (although Rihanna is probably giving him a run for his money at the moment) and Redemption song is one of favourite Marley tracks. Without wanting to blaspheme I’ve decided to post a version by Mr Johnny Cash and Joe Strummer. It’s actually a really good version, it probably doesn’t have the emotion of the original but the guitar is a lot cleaner and you can’t doubt that Cash and Strummer add something different.

Enjoy
