Such ambitious album titles as "Follow My Mind" usually signal mediocre content, and there is no exception here. I enjoy Jimmy Cliff as a singer and occasionally celebrate him as a writer, but the fellow has the most maddening habit of being good every other album. His selections in the soundtrack LP of The Harder They Come were excellent, and Many Rivers to Cross was particularly effective, but his next album, "Struggling Man," was a collection of didactic, glum, corny songs about the peeeeeople. "Music Maker," in which he concentrated on making music, was fine. Now comes another snoozer, "Follow My Mind," where the songs are melodically feeble and the subject matter sounds like a United Nations resolution. I vote no.
