Another Cycle is an album by Jimmy Cliff, released in 1971. [4]
The album was recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, in Alabama. [5] [6] "Sitting in Limbo" was used on the following year's The Harder They Come . [7] Although recorded in the United States, the album was not released in the country. [8]
The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "short on roots credibility." [1] Wax Poetics wrote that the album "had some excellent material—Cliff’s earnest tenor nicely contrasted by the bluegrass soul of the Swampers—but despite containing classics such as 'Sitting in Limbo' and the title track, the album was widely panned, falling as it did between two camps and perhaps being too far from the Jamaican vibe that had driven Wonderful World." [2]
All tracks composed by Guilly Bright and Jimmy Cliff; except where indicated

The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section is a group of American session musicians based in the northern Alabama town of Muscle Shoals. One of the most prominent American studio house bands from the 1960s to the 1980s, these musicians, individually or as a group, have been associated with more than 500 recordings, including 75 gold and platinum hits. They were masters at creating a southern combination of R&B, soul and country music known as the "Muscle Shoals sound" to back up black artists, who were often in disbelief to learn that the studio musicians were white. Over the years from 1962 to 1969, there have been two successive groups under the name "Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section" and the common factor in the two was an association with Rick Hall at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals.
