The Cool Ruler: The Definitive Collection

CD-Charts > Music > Isaacs- Gregory
by: Gregory Isaacs

Release Date February 26, 2008
This album is truly rammed with just about all the great cuts Mr.Issacs has cut during the years stated.His prolific volume of work for all these years means a few magic tracks may have been overlooked but this will be purely because of lack of space on two CDs.Trojan have done a great job on this set and whoever put it together must be a true fan.Even the Sly nd Robbie (Island tracks are included which brings his biggest hit-Night Nurse along with some others from the album.This realy does showcase the artist's vocal diversity as he has had to adapt to the onset of modern dance hall.
Nobody croon a roots tune quite like Gregory!This is an anthology you must own if you love reggae music.Forget the rest and buy the best!Superb reggae which ... Read More:

Night Nurse

CD-Charts > Music > Isaacs- Gregory
by: Gregory Isaacs

Release Date July 01, 2002
Night nurse is one of 8 great tracks here ---a definitive number one addition to a gregory issaacs collection.
It is interesting to get the words and look them up in a Reggae dictionary.. eg "Hot Stepper".
Remember later he went to prison, (lost his teeth and voice) but became even more creative and prolific - but different.
Excellent fab Great rythm records since of course but not like these classics NIght Nurse and LIVE AT BRIXTON

More Gregory

CD-Charts > Music > Isaacs- Gregory
by: Gregory Isaacs

Release Date July 01, 2002
I love this album. I bought the original LP and was excited to buy the remixed CD with the added bonus of the extra wonderful tracks. However, whoever remixed this needs to go back to remixing school. There is no sharpness and the bass just makes my speakers thud. This is a shame because each track is wonderful with Gregory on form with a sweet voice and a hard rythem to match. I also recently bought the remixed Night Nurse CD and this just sparkles through my system.

The Essential Gregory Isaacs

CD-Charts > Music > Isaacs- Gregory
by: Gregory Isaacs

Release Date August 14, 2006
There are so many Gregory Isaacs compilations now. This is partly because he was so prolific with so many labels, but mainly because of his smooth singing style and great songs. This one covers early 70's songs like 'Look before you leap' through to the famous 'Night Nurse', and most are well worth having. My favourites here include 'I Am Alright' (AKA 'Loving Pauper') and 'The Border'. For me it's worth the price just for 'Mr Know It All' - I've been long trying to replace my battered 1979 12" vinyl copy!
