The Cool Ruler Rides Out Of Town #4
Gregory Isaacs – Surrender
Day 4 of the Cool Ruler Tribute and today it’s a cut from a period in Gregory’s career that for me stands as tall as anything that he delivered during his 40 year career at the TOP of the tree. BOSS selection from 1998 on the aptly titled ‘Incredible Music’ label. Anyone who knows should agree that as far as Reggae is concerned it’s more about the 45’s than the LP’s and this is no exception…
Listen Tune…
(Once I Was Lonely – Gregory Issacs)
still spinning .. rollin and tumblin. hold this top piece of ‘lovers’ from the
‘cool ruler’ who had this to say..
” I think that the power of music is in love songs because every day people fall in love, Gregory Issacs doesn’t fall in love, Gregory Issacs stands in love”
lyrics, don Gregory, lyrics ..
mid 90’s Winston Riley production for his own Techniques label.
day 7 .. Ladiesweek.
(Timi – It’s Over)
its been tough staying on top of the theme but, musicologically, worth the effort.
last one from the ladies and yep..it’s from the 90’s.
moving out of the soul into one of themusicologists other musical passions .. the sweet sounds of Jamaica. This one, produced by Beres, and mixed by ‘Bulby’ is from 1998.
