Though it's considered a classic of roots reggae-- a late-1970s style focused on Rastafarian teaching, social distress, and political injustice-- Two Sevens Clash generally sounds a lot brassier than most of the records in its category. The rhythms, if not always dance-oriented, are springy and uptempo, the harmonies are major, and Joe Gibbs's production is bright (contra, say, dub's intoxicant muddiness). And Hill is ultimately the catalyst reveling in the middle, a wily, lemony voice, never shying away in melody or delivery, never letting harsh reality cancel out his hope, but never pretending things are any less miserable than they actually are.

Many schools and businesses closed their doors when the day came and many Jamaicans refused to venture from their homes. Culture’s crucial debut album is a certifiable roots reggae classic, produced by Joe Gibbs and Errol Thompson at Joe Gibbs Studio. Its title references Marcus Garvey’s prophecy of a calamity occurring on July 7, 1977 when the “sevens” met and its liner notes state that:

Lyrics and melodies came into his head as he rode and thus was born the song "Two Sevens Clash" which became a massive hit in reggae circles both in Jamaica and abroad. The prophecies noted by the lyrics so profoundly captured the imagination of the people that on July 7, 1977 - the day when sevens fully clashed (seventh day, seventh month, seventy-seventh year) a hush descended on Kingston; many people did not go outdoors, shops closed, an air of foreboding and expectation filled the city." Two Sevens Clash is the debut album by roots reggae band Culture, recorded with producer Joe Gibbs at his own Joe Gibbs Recording Studio in Kingston in 1976, and released on Gibbs' eponymous label in 1977 (see 1977 in music). The album's title is a reference to the date of 7 July 1977. Filename E:\2017 HDD\To Move\Culture - Two Sevens Clash [40th Anniversary Edition] [Disc One]\02 I'm Alone In The Wilderness.wav
