Three more albums followed: Freedom Street, Reggaebility, and On The Rock Part 2. After the last of these, in 1983, they didn't surface again until 1995 when Lagoon Records released People Say, and Reggae Time, both compilations of earlier albums, followed by The Best Of The Cimarons, released in 1999 on Culture Press. Reedy and Dunn continue to perform as The Cimarons. (Read more at Wikipedia.)
