Alton Ellis & The Flames - Cry Tough

Review by Contador Parceiro Safeweb

Alton Ellis & The Flames' album Cry Tough is a masterpiece of Jamaican reggae music. The album, released in 1978, features some of the best-known tracks in the genre, including "I'm Still in Love" and "Breaking Up."

The album's title track, "Cry Tough," is an upbeat tune that showcases Ellis' smooth vocals and The Flames' soulful harmonies. The song's lyrics speak to the struggles of life and the need to persevere through tough times.

Another standout track on the album is "Ain't That Loving You," a slow, romantic ballad that showcases Ellis' range as a vocalist. The song's simple yet powerful melody and lyrics make it a timeless classic.
